Integrate Your Form With a Class Management System

Activity Messenger is designed to work hand in hand with class management platforms such as Jackrabbit, iClassPro, Amilia, or Uplifter. This allows you to collect waivers outside of the registration process.

Digital waivers integrated with your class management system

For example, Activity Messenger is great if you need to collect waivers for birthday parties, free trials, and drop-ins, but don’t want to require participants to create an account. Instead, they scan a QR code and sign waivers from their smartphone in seconds.

Waiver Management for Gymnastics Clubs

Activity Messenger makes it easy to track who has and hasn’t signed a waiver. The system updates in real time to show you the status of each attendee’s waiver. This feature is especially useful for party’s or events where keeping track of waiver completion can be a challenge.

Replace Smartwaiver, WaiverForever, and Docusign

Many gymnastics clubs need an online waiver tool to complete the feature set of their class management software. They often select popular tools that are great but that were not designed for gymnastics clubs. Activity Messenger eliminates the need for these additional tools.

Integration with Communication Tools

Activity Messenger’s ability to send email or SMS reminders for waiver completion ensures that you maintain high compliance rates. This proactive approach to collecting digital waivers reduces the last-minute rush before classes or events.

Tips to Ensure Higher Completion Rates for Liability Waivers

Imagine a parent filling out the waiver for your gymnastics free trial. They scan a QR code, enter their details, read through the terms, and sign digitally.

Both you and the parent immediately receive a confirmation email with a PDF version of the form.

Liability Waiver Distribution Made easy

With Activity Messenger, every waiver you create for your club comes with its own unique link and QR code.

Share links on social media, embed waivers on your website, or include them in emails and text messages to your gymnasts. This way, you can connect with your customers wherever they are and make sure everyone has signed the waiver.

Ensure higher liability waiver completion rates at your gymnastics club

📌 Pro Tip: One of the best ways to ensure higher liability waiver completion rates is to schedule multiple text or email reminders to parents, but only to those who have not yet completed the waiver.
