How to schedule a coaching tool to send at a future date
You can schedule any coaching tool in LCH to send to your client at a future date instead of right now. This is useful when you want something to land at a specific moment, weeks ahead, without having to remember to do it.
When this is useful
Mid-program check-ins. Youโre running a 12-week program. Schedule a reflection worksheet to fire automatically at week 6. You donโt have to remember; the system does.
End-of-program reflection. Set a final worksheet to land in the last week of every package. The client has time to reflect before your closing conversation.
Anniversary check-ins. A year after a client completed your program, send them a re-engagement journal prompt or a short worksheet asking how their goals have evolved.
Pre-session prep. If you know you want a particular worksheet completed before next monthโs session, schedule it now while youโre thinking of it.
How to schedule
When youโre assigning a tool to a client, youโll see an option to set the delivery date. Pick the date you want it to go out. Save.
The tool sits in LCH until that date, then sends automatically. Your client gets a notification, completes the tool in their own time, and their responses land in the Progress Stream just like any other tool.
Combining scheduled tools with your workflow
Scheduled tools work best when you batch them. A few patterns:
At the end of every package, set up the packageโs โautomationโ:
- Week 1: Welcome Package (already done)
- Week 4: First check-in worksheet (schedule at session 1)
- Week 6: Mid-program reflection (schedule at session 1)
- Week 10: Pre-renewal reflection (schedule at session 1)
- Week 12: End-of-program reflection (schedule at session 1)
Now the rhythm of the package is wired in. You can focus on the live coaching while the structure carries itself.
At anniversary dates, send a โwhere are you nowโ prompt. Set a re-engagement worksheet to send 6 or 12 months after a client completed a program with you. Light touch. No expectation. Often re-starts a conversation.
Final takeaway
Scheduling tools in advance turns your between-session structure from โsomething you have to remember to doโ into โsomething the system does for you.โ Set up your programโs rhythm once at the start of each engagement and let the automation hold the shape.
