Activity Messenger integrates with your martial art management platform, offering the flexibility to collect waivers outside the usual registration or membership processes.

Digital Waivers for Events

For events like sparring tournaments, free introductory classes, and special training sessions that require unique waivers, participants no longer need to create accounts. They can simply scan a QR code and sign waivers directly from their smartphones.

Waiver Management

By providing instant updates on each student’s waiver status, Activity Messenger simplifies waiver management. This helps you reduce paperwork and ensures all waivers are properly completed.

Replace SmartWaiver, WaiverForever, and Docusign

While many generic tools are available, they are not designed specifically for the unique needs of martial arts and dojo owners. Activity Messenger fills this gap, eliminating the need for multiple tools and streamlining the entire process.

How to ensure higher completion rates

Activity Messenger allows you to schedule email or SMS reminders for waiver completion.

This means no more last-minute scrambling to ensure that all waivers are signed before tournaments, training camps, or classes. You can also track who has signed the waiver directly from your class attendance lists.

How to ensure higher completion rates for your digital waivers

📌 Pro Tip: To increase waiver completion rates, martial arts dojos can schedule a few targeted text or email reminders to parents or participants. These reminders are sent only to those who haven’t yet completed their waivers, ensuring no unnecessary messages are sent to those who have already filled them out.
