Private session messages now follow your wording — and can text and push
Private-session confirmations and reminders now use your venue's branding and your own wording, can also be sent by text and push notification, and the notice that tells an instructor they've been assigned finally appears in your Events settings.
Private sessions had quietly been the exception. Every other automated message picks up your logo, your footer and any wording you'd written for it — the private-session confirmation did not, because it was assembled as plain text outside the normal email design. Anything you typed for it simply never appeared. That's fixed. From now on: - **The confirmation and the reminders look like your venue** — your logo, your colours, your footer and links on your own web address (or your brand's, when the enquiry came through a brand page). The calendar invite is still attached exactly as before. - **Your wording is used.** Whatever you've written for these events in Settings → Emails now shows at the top of the message, above the session details. The details, times and buttons stay in place, so a reword can never accidentally remove the information a client needs. - **You can switch them on or off.** The private-session confirmation and reminder now appear in Settings → Emails → Events like every other message. - **You can also text and push them.** Both go out by SMS and as a phone notification when you want them to, with the wording editable in Settings → Emails → Text messages. Each channel has its own switch, so you can text the reminder without texting the confirmation. - **The "you've been assigned a private session" notice for your instructor is now a real setting.** It had been sending for a long time without appearing anywhere you could see it. It now has its own row in Events settings, its own wording, and a phone notification for the instructor.
Private sessions — correct times, deposits, and double-booking protection
Private-event bookings are now created in your venue's timezone, deposits charge exactly what the booking shows, rescheduling can no longer double-book a room or teacher, and prices display in your venue's own currency format.
