Trial classes
Open the public trial-class page
Open online trial slots to capture new prospects with zero manual handling.
Updated May 23, 2026
Public trial-class page
Kimono gives every club a public trial sign-up page. Share the URL, the prospect picks a slot, they're booked.
Public URL
Each club has a page accessible at:
https://join-kimono.com/{org-slug}/{club-slug}/trial
Also linked at the bottom of your organization homepage, on every transactional email and shareable on social.
Configure trial slots
Admin panel → Trial classes → Trial slots.
For each slot:
- Club + discipline + time.
- Trial capacity (separate from the regular class capacity).
- Open / closed to the public.
- Age range (e.g. 6–10).
- Validity window (e.g. 2026-2027 season).
A slot can be publicly visible even if the regular class is nearly full — you stay in control of the trial/member ratio.
Prospect-side flow
- Visitor lands on the public page.
- Sees available slots (with remaining capacity).
- Picks one, enters first name + last name + email + (optional) phone and age.
- Gets a confirmation email immediately with date, location, instructions (dress, arrive 10min early, etc.).
- Staff also gets a notification.
Guard-rails
Kimono auto-rejects a sign-up if:
- An active trial already exists for that email on that club (dedup).
- The slot is full.
- The slot is closed or inactive.
- The date is in the past.
The prospect sees a clear (and distinct) message for each case.
