How does member-to-coach messaging work in the Octiv app?
In-app messaging between members and coaches
Member Messaging a Coach
1. Open the Octiv app and navigate to your booked class.
- Tap the conversation icon on the right side of the class entry.
- Type and send your message to the coach.
⚠ If the coach name is set to hidden in the facility settings, the messaging option will not be available. The setting is: Settings >> Classes >> Should the coach name be displayed? — if set to No, messaging is unavailable.
Coach Sending a Push Notification to All Class Participants
1. Navigate to the class in the schedule.
- Select Message Bookings.
- Type your message — it will be sent as a push notification to all booked members.
Octiv Does Not Have General In-App Messaging
Octiv does not have a general chat or messaging inbox — the conversation feature is class-specific. For broader member communications, use the Communications section to send emails or push notifications, or use your facility's preferred external channel (WhatsApp, email, etc.).
