Generate Flyers, Emails, and Directions with AI

Launching a wellness challenge just got a whole lot easier.

September 14, 2025 by Joseph

At ChallengeRunner, we understand that creating a new challenge isn't just about setting up the activities; it's about getting people to join. That means writing an email, designing a flyer, and explaining the rules clearly... for every challenge. And if you run multiple challenges (or highly customized ones), that work adds up fast.

To help, we’re excited to introduce our latest time-saving feature: AI-Generated Promotional Materials.

What Is It?

The AI-Generated Promotional Materials feature uses OpenAI’s powerful language model to generate the three most common communication tools you need when promoting a challenge:

  • A ready-to-send email announcement
  • A flyer or poster design (image or PDF)
  • Step-by-step directions to help participants get started
The best part? It only takes one click.

Why We Built It

Admins asked for a faster way to promote their challenges without having to reinvent the wheel each time. Writing fresh copy, formatting a flyer, and remembering all the little details of how to join can be tedious. This is especially true when you're doing it over and over again.
The AI-Generated Promotional Materials feature solves that by reading your challenge details (like name, dates, activity types, and goals) and automatically generating:

  • A polished, customized email
  • A clean and informative flyer
  • Clear directions on how to join and track progress
These materials can be edited if needed, but many admins find them ready to use as-is.

How To

  1. Log in as an Admin and go to your Challenge List.
  2. Click Edit Challenge next to any challenge.
  3. Select Generate Promotional Materials.
  4. (Optional) Enter any extra details you want the AI to include (up to 1000 characters).
  5. Click Submit.
  6. The system creates your materials — and makes them available for download and review.
If you later make changes to your challenge setup, simply use the Regenerate Promotional Materials link to refresh the content.

Who Can Use It?

This feature is available to all admins using the Commercial or Enterprise editions of ChallengeRunner.
Access follows the same permissions as editing a challenge: if you can create or edit, you can generate promo materials too.
All generated content is stored with the challenge and can be revisited or updated at any time.
