Create and manage coaching content sequences (tip groups) that automatically send tips, lessons, or follow-up messages to enrolled contacts on a schedule. Includes template gallery, sequence builder, enrollment management, group enrollment, response dashboard, and Shabbat-aware scheduling. Tips reach a contact on WhatsApp, by SMS for US numbers where the group allows it, or straight into the Spun inbox of a contact who is themselves a Spun user: that last route is on by default for Spun users, is shown per enrollment as a "Spun" checkbox and badge, and replaces WhatsApp and SMS for that contact rather than duplicating the message. Unchecking it sends them on WhatsApp/SMS like anyone else, and a contact who stops being reachable on Spun falls back to WhatsApp automatically. A Settings tab shows whether SMS delivery is enabled for your organization and lets you choose which account tips are sent from: the shared Spun number (US only, where replies do not reach you) or your own SMS account (your own local number, with replies arriving in your chats; if that account is disconnected, sends fail rather than switching to the Spun number). A tip group can also be shown as rotating tips on the banner at the top of your own inbox; only your team sees them and no contact is messaged. Shabbat-aware delivery follows the organization's Shabbat & Holidays switch. When you have AI write tips or a whole sequence without choosing a language, it writes them in the default language of your organization. The automatic reply to a contact's check-in answer is written in the language the contact replied in, and the reply hint added under a check-in (for example "Reply with a number from 1-10") is in the language the tip is sent in.
How to use
- Install the Coaching extension from the marketplace.
- Create a new Tip Group with a sequence of tips.
- Set the delivery schedule (daily, specific days, time windows).
- Enroll contacts individually or in bulk by label.
- Monitor responses and progress in the Response Dashboard.
- Optionally import pre-built templates from the Template Gallery.
- On the Enrollments tab, any contact who is also a Spun user shows a "Spun" checkbox, ticked by default, which delivers their tips to their Spun inbox instead of WhatsApp or SMS; untick it to send them over WhatsApp/SMS instead, and use the Spun filter tab to see every enrollment on that route.
- Use the Settings tab to choose whether coaching SMS goes out from the Spun number or your own SMS account.
- In a tip group, turn on "Show rotating tips on top banner" to see its tips at the top of your inbox.
