Student Check-In Reminder - check_in_topic
Hi student_first_name,
This is a quick reminder to complete your check_in_topic check-in by check_in_due_date.
You can complete it here: check_in_linkComplete your check-in.
The check-in helps us understand how the term is going and whether you would like support with classes, advising, financial questions, or campus resources. It should only take a few minutes.
If you would like help now, support_resource are available. Reply to this message and we can point you in the right direction.
Thanks,

Workflow context
When to use this workflow
Use when an advising or student-success office has an established check-in process and staff can confirm the topic, institution-set due date, approved form link, and relevant support resource for the student.
What this replaces
Replaces generic outreach that does not explain what the check-in covers, where to complete it, when it is due, or which support option is available.
Why teams standardize this email
A consistent reminder makes the requested action clear while avoiding assumptions about the student's academic standing, wellbeing, financial situation, or need for a particular service.
What Toggles adds beyond a normal Outlook template
Toggles inserts the workflow directly in Outlook, prompts for variables, prepares operational details, and keeps the draft editable before sending.
- Fills the student name and selected check-in topic
- Adds the staff-entered due date and approved check-in link
- Includes the selected support resource in the editable draft
- Applies the configured check-in topic tag when the workflow starts
FAQ
Does this workflow evaluate student progress?
No. It sends a reminder for an established check-in. Any assessment or follow-up happens through the institution's authorized process.
Can the message discuss sensitive student information?
Staff should use institution-reviewed language and avoid adding unnecessary record details. The workflow itself does not retrieve or evaluate a student record.
Does Toggles choose the support resource?
No. Staff select or enter the appropriate resource and review the full Outlook draft before sending.
