    What is the Glofox SMS integration?

    Glofox is the management platform fitness studios, gyms and wellness studios use to run memberships, class bookings and payments.

    Texto's Glofox integration is native. You paste your Glofox branch ID, API key and API token into Texto and it connects directly to the Glofox API - no plugin, no Zapier, no middleware. From there you switch on SMS class booking confirmations, reminders, cancellations, post-class follow-ups and lapsed-member win-backs, and you can text your whole member list whenever you need to.

    Around 98% of text messages get opened, most within three minutes. For a studio, that is the difference between a full class and an empty one - at 3¢ per SMS.

    Why Australian studios run Glofox SMS through Texto

    The reminders your members already expect, at a flat 3¢ a message.

    3¢ per member SMS

    Texto is 3¢ per SMS to an Australian mobile with no monthly platform fee and no per-member pricing. Class reminders, follow-ups and broadcasts all cost the same flat rate.

    Fuller classes, fewer no-shows

    Booking confirmations and reminders go out automatically at the times you set. Members know exactly when and where their class is, so spots stop going to waste.

    Members can reply, and you will see it

    Replies come back into Texto and can be written onto the member's Glofox profile as a note, so the conversation lives where your team already works.

    Built and hosted in Australia

    Texto is Australian owned and operated, hosted on AWS Sydney only, with message content removed after 90 days and support in your time zone.

    Five Glofox SMS automations, ready to switch on

    Every automation comes with a default message you can edit. Turn on the ones you want and leave the rest off.

    Class booking confirmation

    "Hi {first_name}, you're booked into {class_name} with {teacher} at {location} on {appointment_day} {appointment_date} at {appointment_time}."

    Sends the moment a class is booked in Glofox.

    Class reminder

    "Hi {first_name}, reminder: {class_name} with {teacher} on {appointment_day} {appointment_date} at {appointment_time}. See you at {location}!"

    Choose days before and hours before, plus a daily send time in your studio's time zone.

    Class booking cancelled

    "Hi {first_name}, your {class_name} booking on {appointment_date} at {appointment_time} has been cancelled. Call {business_phone} to rebook."

    Fires when a booking is cancelled in Glofox, so members hear it from you first.

    Post-class follow-up

    "Hi {first_name}, great work at {class_name} today! Book your next class here: {booking_link}. Questions? Call {business_phone}."

    24 hours after the class by default, adjustable from 1 hour up to 14 days.

    Win back lapsed members

    "Hi {first_name}, we miss you at {business_name}! It's been a while since your last visit. Book a class: {booking_link}."

    Targets members whose last visit was a set number of months ago.

    Target each automation precisely

    • Limit to specific classes
    • Limit to specific trainers
    • Set your studio's time zone, name and phone number
    • Choose days before and hours before, with a daily send time
    • Add an optional booking link for follow-ups and win-backs
    • Pick the number or Sender ID each automation sends from

    Merge fields available

    {first_name}{last_name}{class_name}{teacher}{location}{appointment_date}{appointment_time}{appointment_day}{business_name}{business_phone}

    Class, teacher, location and booking details pull straight from Glofox - no copy-paste, no manual edits before each send.

    Replies write back into Glofox, opt-outs always respected

    Member conversations and consent stay tidy without any manual work.

    Member replies land on the profile

    When a member texts back, Texto matches the mobile number to the Glofox member and can record the reply as a note on their profile. Your team sees the conversation in Glofox without leaving the dashboard. You can switch this off in settings if you would rather keep replies in Texto only.

    Opt-outs handled in Texto

    Glofox has no SMS consent field, so Texto keeps the opt-out list itself and always respects it. A STOP reply unsubscribes the member instantly, and that member is excluded from every future automation and broadcast - no exceptions.

    Text your whole member list, not just class reminders

    Sometimes you need to reach members today - and automations will not cut it.

    Trainer off sick today

    Hi Sam, unfortunately Coach Jess is away today and the 6am HIIT class is cancelled. Call us on 03 9000 0000 to rebook. Filter to that trainer's booked members in seconds.

    Studio closed or public holiday hours

    Our Richmond studio is closed Monday for the public holiday. We reopen 5am Tuesday. Send to all members, or just the ones booked that day.

    Last-minute class spots

    Two spots just opened in tonight's 6:30pm Reformer Pilates. First in, best dressed: {booking_link}. Fill classes that would otherwise run half empty.

    New class or new trainer

    Great news - Saturday spin is here with our new trainer Mia. Book your first ride: {booking_link}. Send to active members from the last 12 months.

    Win back lapsed members

    Pick members who have gone quiet and send a personal nudge with a free class or comeback offer. A 3¢ text is the cheapest re-activation you will ever run.

    Membership and timetable changes

    New winter timetable starts next week, with extra 6am sessions. Text everyone affected before the complaints reach reception.

    How to send a broadcast to Glofox members

    In Texto, open the Send screen and choose Import from CRM, then pick Glofox. You will be offered a list to import:

    • All members with a mobile number
    • Active members only
    • New members joined in the last 3 months
    • New members joined in the last 12 months
    • Lapsed, inactive members - the win-back crowd

    Write your message with merge fields, preview the member count, and send. Members who have opted out are excluded automatically.

    Glofox SMS - frequently asked questions

    How do I set up SMS with Glofox?

    Apply for API access through the Glofox developer portal. Once approved, Glofox sends you a branch ID, an API key and an API token. In Texto, open Integrations → Glofox → Connect and paste all three. Then open Automations → Glofox and switch on the automations you want. No plugin and no Zapier needed.

    How much does Glofox SMS cost with Texto?

    3¢ per SMS to an Australian mobile. There is no monthly platform fee, no per-member pricing and no contract. A Dedicated Number is optional at $15/month + GST if you want members to reply to a number you own. New accounts get 5 free credits.

    What Glofox SMS automations are available?

    Five: • Class booking confirmation - sent when a class is booked • Class reminder - days and/or hours before, at a daily send time in your studio's time zone • Class booking cancelled - sent when a booking is cancelled • Post-class follow-up - 24 hours after by default, adjustable from 1 hour to 14 days • Win back lapsed members - members whose last visit was a set number of months ago

    Can I limit automations to certain classes or trainers?

    Yes. Every automation can be filtered by class and by trainer, and you choose which number or Sender ID each automation sends from. You also set your studio's time zone, name and phone number so reminders always go out at the right local time with the right details.

    Can I text all my members, not just class reminders?

    Yes. On the Send screen choose Import from CRM → Glofox and pick a list: all members with a mobile number, active members only, new members joined in the last 3 or 12 months, or lapsed inactive members. Handy for closures, a trainer being away for the day, last-minute class spots or promotions.

    What happens when a member replies to a Glofox SMS?

    The reply comes into Texto and can be written back as a note on the member's Glofox profile, so your team sees it where they already work. You can turn that write-back off if you prefer replies to stay in Texto only.

    How do opt-outs work with Glofox?

    Glofox does not have an SMS consent field, so Texto keeps the opt-out list itself and always respects it. A STOP reply unsubscribes the member in Texto immediately, and that member is excluded from every future automation and broadcast.

    Where is member data stored?

    Texto is Australian owned and operated. Member contact data is hosted in Australia on AWS Sydney infrastructure. Message content is removed after 90 days.
