About This Feature
A great way to keep the interest of your community of students and prompt more sales is by including a Course Completion Email.
Course Completion Emails are an excellent way to engage with your students and it gives you a chance to market your other courses to them. You can decide which (or all) of your courses will deliver a completion email to the student after they have finished the course.
How It Works
These emails are sent out to the student and will have information like their name, the course they took, the instructor’s name and whether or not a certificate is available.
The email subject and body is fully customizable. You can also include variables to automatically populate student details!
Email Variables
The variables in the course completion email will auto fill out each of the noted fields, based on previously recorded information. For example, {{user_first_name}} will pull the first name of the student automatically from their sign-up and fill it into the relevant spot in the email.
