Personal trainer sign-up

The 'Personal trainer sign-up' workflow helps you to build up your personal training service by managing the process, from requesting a trainer through to the booking of training sessions.

A step-by-step guide to Personal trainer sign-up

This guide will explain the 'Personal trainer sign-up' workflow step by step.
It makes use of numerous screenshots, but if you'd like to follow along in the Kotive webapp, you can sign up and copy the workflow into your account for free.
Keep the workflow open in a separate tab in your browser, and interact with it while reading the steps in this guide.

Section 1: A new training request

In this section, a new client signs up to receive personal training, and the gym is notified of the application.

Personal trainer sign-up form

The first part of this form is a paragraph that's titled: !!! IMPORTANT CHANGES you need to make BEFORE running this workflow: This paragraph contains instructions on how to personalize the workflow for you and your company. If you intend to run the workflow, these changes can not be ignored.

The workflow starts when a new client fills in this form with their personal details, as well as their personal training schedule and preferences.

This is a 'published task' - anybody can view and complete this form, they do not have to be a logged-in user.

Notify gym

The gym administrator is notified about the new application for a personal trainer, and is instructed to move onto the next task.

Kotive creates the content of the email by pulling in the client's details from the first form.

Let's start by looking at how the email is typed up. There are lots of normal looking text words, but there are also lots of rectangular, shaded in, blocks of text. What's the difference?

Well, the normal text is just that: normal text. There's nothing special about it. But the blocks of text are actually information that is being pulled in from the first form. If you click on the text area of the email while in the webapp, you'll see that it changes and suddenly looks like a lot of code with lots of curly brackets { } and numbers. This code (also called dynamic field tags) is what tells these fields of text what they're going to end up saying. When this email gets sent to the gym administrator, it won't look like it does now, it will all be normal text, because the workflow will look at the previous form and put the information from that form into this email.
