Engage Every Player Without Lifting a Finger
SmashClub automates the work that keeps players coming back — welcome messages, loyalty points, milestone celebrations, and re-engagement nudges. All via WhatsApp. All from your club's name. All without staff.
What Gets Automated
Three categories of work that used to require staff attention now run themselves.
Player Messaging
Welcome messages after first visit. Milestone celebrations at 10, 25, 50 games. Re-engagement nudges when booking frequency drops. Tournament invitations. All via WhatsApp or Telegram.
Loyalty & Rewards
Points awarded automatically per booking. Tier upgrades triggered when thresholds are reached. Bonus points for tournaments, referrals, and off-peak play. No manual tracking.
Tournament Operations
Bracket generation, court assignment, match scheduling, and result tracking — all automated. From sign-up to final standings, SmashClub runs the entire tournament without staff.
Automated WhatsApp messages that feel personal
SmashClub sends messages from your club's name at exactly the right moment. They include the player's name, their stats, and contextual details. Players don't see mass marketing — they see their club reaching out personally.
- 95%+ open rate on WhatsApp
- Sent from your club's name
- Personalized with player data
- Triggered by behavior, not calendar
How It Runs Without You
From first booking to loyal regular — every step is automated.
Player Books
Booking data syncs automatically from Playtomic, Matchi, or Padel Mates.
Points Awarded
Loyalty points are added to the player's balance. Tier thresholds are checked.
Message Sent
If a trigger condition is met (milestone, tier upgrade, inactivity), a WhatsApp message fires.
Player Returns
The message includes a link back — to their dashboard, a tournament, or the booking platform.
Messages That Sound Human, Not Robotic
SmashClub's communication editor comes with built-in style guidelines that enforce a personal, human tone. Do/Don't rules keep your messaging warm and engaging — never spammy. Target specific audience segments, preview before sending, and maintain a consistent club voice across every touchpoint.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can SmashClub automate for my padel club?
SmashClub automates three main areas: (1) Player messaging — welcome messages, milestone celebrations, re-engagement nudges via WhatsApp or Telegram. (2) Loyalty — points awarded automatically per booking, tier upgrades triggered by thresholds. (3) Tournament operations — bracket generation, court assignments, and result tracking run without staff.
Do I need to write the messages myself?
SmashClub comes with pre-built message templates for common scenarios: first visit welcome, milestone celebrations (10th game, 50th game), tier upgrades, and re-engagement after inactivity. You can customize the text, but the triggers and timing are handled automatically.
Which messaging channels does SmashClub support?
SmashClub sends automated messages via WhatsApp and Telegram. WhatsApp has a 95%+ open rate, making it significantly more effective than email for player engagement. Messages are sent from your club's name, not from SmashClub.
Can I turn off specific automations?
Yes. Every automation can be toggled on or off individually. Want loyalty points but not messaging? No problem. Want tournament automation but not re-engagement messages? You choose what runs and what doesn't.
