How This System Works
Architecture
The Peak Performance Studios AI deployment implements a proactive member retention system using two coordinated agents. The Churn Risk Scanner operates on a weekly schedule, analyzing member attendance patterns from Mindbody's booking and check-in data to identify members showing signs of disengagement. When at-risk members are identified, the system automatically triggers the Win-Back Campaigner to initiate personalized re-engagement sequences through Mailchimp. The architecture follows a producer-consumer pattern where the scanner acts as the data processor and risk assessor, while the campaigner serves as the automated response system. Data flows unidirectionally from Mindbody through Claude's analysis engine to Mailchimp's campaign system, with member profiles and engagement history serving as the primary data substrate.
Data Flow
Every Monday morning, the Churn Risk Scanner pulls the previous week's attendance data from Mindbody, including class bookings, no-shows, cancellations, and actual check-ins across all studio locations. This raw attendance data is enriched with member profile information including membership type, join date, and historical engagement patterns. Claude processes this dataset to calculate risk scores based on attendance decline patterns, booking frequency changes, and comparative analysis against member cohorts. When members exceed the risk threshold, their profiles are automatically queued for the Win-Back Campaigner, which retrieves additional demographic and preference data from Mindbody to personalize outreach campaigns. The campaigner creates targeted email sequences in Mailchimp based on member segment (new member vs. long-term, class preferences, membership tier) and schedules delivery over a multi-week re-engagement timeline.
Implementation Phases
Deploy Churn Risk Scanner with Mindbody integration and basic risk scoring algorithm
Implement Win-Back Campaigner with Mailchimp integration and template library
Connect agents, test end-to-end workflow, and calibrate risk thresholds
Prerequisites
- -Mindbody Staff/Owner account with API access enabled
- -Mailchimp Pro account with API access and automation features
- -Claude API subscription with sufficient usage limits
- -Secure server environment with cron job capabilities
- -SSL certificates for API endpoints
Assumptions
- -Member attendance patterns are predictive of churn risk within 2-4 weeks
- -Mindbody data quality is consistent with <5% missing check-in data
- -Studio operates regular class schedules with consistent booking patterns
- -Email remains primary communication channel for member engagement
- -Studio management will review and approve email templates before deployment
Recommended Agents (2)
How It Works
- 1Data Extraction
Connect to Mindbody API using OAuth credentials, pull attendance data for all active members from the past 30 days including class bookings, check-ins, no-shows, and cancellations
Mindbody Staff API - 2Member Enrichment
Retrieve member profile data including join date, membership type, class preferences, and historical booking patterns to build comprehensive member profiles
Mindbody Client API - 3Risk Analysis
Send structured member data to Claude API with risk scoring prompt, analyzing attendance decline patterns, booking frequency changes, and engagement trend deviations
Claude API - 4Threshold Processing
Filter Claude's risk scores against configurable thresholds, categorizing members into low/medium/high risk segments and preparing at-risk member lists
Custom scoring logic - 5Alert Generation
Store high-risk members in database queue and trigger Win-Back Campaigner for immediate outreach, while logging all risk scores for trend analysis
