Automated Sawyer Session Renewal Reminders

Every Monday, WebRun opens Sawyer, finds students whose current session ends within two weeks without a renewal on file, drafts a renewal reminder campaign in Mailchimp addressed to those families, and posts your team a Slack list of who still needs to re-enroll before seats open to new students.

In short

How do I remind students to renew before their class session ends?

WebRun checks Sawyer every Monday for students whose session ends within two weeks and who have not yet renewed, then drafts a Mailchimp reminder campaign addressed to those families by class and next session date. It also posts your team a Slack list of who still needs to re-enroll, so no returning student's seat quietly opens up to someone else.

  • Families needing to renew are identified two weeks before their seat opens up
  • Renewal campaigns arrive ready to review instead of written from scratch each session
  • Already-renewed students are automatically left off the reminder list

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it email families about renewing without approval?

No. WebRun builds the renewal campaign in Mailchimp and leaves it as an unsent draft. Your team reviews the message and the segment, then decides when to send it.

How does it know who already renewed?

It checks the next session's roster in Sawyer against the current one. Anyone already enrolled in the upcoming session is left off the reminder list automatically.

What counts as nearing the end of a session?

Any active student whose current session ends within the next two weeks. You can adjust that window if your business runs longer or shorter enrollment cycles.
