Go Beyond Announcements with Two-Way Messages, Now Available in Akada Studio and Akada Portal
You don’t just teach classes. You organize, encourage, remind, reschedule, troubleshoot, check in, and cheer on. That takes more than a calendar and a clipboard. It takes communication that works.
For years, most studios have relied on one-way communication: you send a reminder, post an update, and hope it gets seen. But when parents need to reply or ask a question, the line breaks. Emails get buried. Calls go unanswered. Miscommunication follows.
Akada’s new Messages feature changes that.
Now, instead of one-way communication, you can have real, back-and-forth conversations with customers — all inside Akada Studio and Akada Portal. Whether you’re sending a group update or a personal check-in, you get replies in the same thread, keeping everything organized and easy to follow.
Why It Matters
Messages isn’t just convenient—it’s transformational.
When you make space for real-time replies, you:
- Reduce no-shows with faster attendance confirmations
- Save time chasing down missed payments or schedule changes
- Create a sense of connection that families actually remember
Studios that keep communication personal often see better retention, stronger parent satisfaction, and more efficient workflows.
Real-World Wins
Here’s how studios are already using Messages:
- “Hi! Just a heads-up that tonight’s class is in Studio B instead of A.”
- “Running a few minutes late? No problem, thanks for letting us know.”
- “We noticed Jamie was out last week—everything okay?”
- “Just wanted to say how much progress Ava’s made this month.”
These messages don’t just inform—they connect.
Built Into the Tools You Already Use
Messages is available in Akada Studio (for staff) and Akada Portal (for customers). It’s designed to keep conversations flowing without switching platforms or searching through inboxes.
You can send messages to:
- Individual accounts for one-on-one communication
- Your entire studio with broadcast messaging to Active accounts, Inactive accounts, or Prospects
- Everyone at once with studio-wide announcements
All replies come back to you privately—no messy group threads, just clear, continuous conversations.
Communication That Works With You
When communication is simple and responsive, it becomes part of your studio culture. Parents feel seen. Students feel supported. And you spend less time chasing information and more time teaching.
Akada’s Messages isn’t just a new feature. It’s a smarter way to stay connected with your community.
Go beyond announcements. Build relationships. Solve problems faster. Stay connected.
