How to use Nudges in CoachNexa
Automate gentle reminders that keep clients on track — without you having to chase them manually.
⏱ About 4 min · Updated 25 Sep 2026
Here is how Nudges works in CoachNexa, step by step.
-
Open Nudges
Click Nudges in the sidebar. You'll see all your automated reminders, searchable by name.
-
Create a nudge
Click + Add Nudge (or + Create your first nudge). Name it (e.g. "Weekly check-in reminder") and write the message clients will receive.
-
Set the schedule
Choose when the nudge fires — a day of the week and an hour (e.g. every Monday at 9). The nudge then sends automatically on that cadence.
-
Choose who receives it
Target the nudge at specific clients, a group, or your whole roster, depending on what the reminder is for.
-
Pick the channel
Nudges can be delivered by email, push notification or WhatsApp (where configured), so they reach clients where they actually look.
-
Pause or edit any time
Toggle a nudge off when it's no longer needed, or edit its message and timing as your programme evolves.
-
What your client sees — Client receives the nudge automatically
At the scheduled time the client gets your reminder by email, push or WhatsApp — no action needed from you once it's set up.
-
What your client sees — Client acts on the reminder
The nudge links the client back to the relevant part of their portal (a habit to check in, a task to complete), turning a reminder into action.
Tip: Use nudges for recurring behaviours (check-ins, habit reminders) and Messages for one-off personal notes. Tip: Keep nudge copy warm and specific — "How did your 3 workouts go this week?" beats "Reminder". Heads-up: Too many nudges feel like spam. Start with one or two high-value reminders per client.
