Our Drip Schedule feature allows you to release your content to students over time.
Right now, emails are not automatically sent to students when content is released however, students will see a prompt within each lesson letting them know when their content will be available.
We’re always working behind the scenes on improvements and if you would like to add your vote to Drip Schedule notifications, we want to know. Get in contact with the Support team and let us know what functionality would be most valuable to you!
In the meantime, we have a few alternative options to send out notifications.
Use Mobile App
The Thinkific Mobile App and our Branded Mobile app solutions include push notifications every time a lesson is released via ad rip schedule. Your students can receive new dripped lesson notifications directly on their phone! Learn more: Mobile-Only Features.
Turn on Weekly Reminder Emails
A great option is to turn on Weekly Reminder Emails. These are sent out every week to any students with new/incomplete course content.
Create a Drip Campaign in Your Email Marketing Solution
If you'd like to set some emails up to mirror your Drip Schedule, you can do that using your email marketing solution. All you will need is to:
- Make sure that your email marketing solution adds students to a specific mailing list when they sign up for your Drip course. If one of our built-in integrations does not support that, you can always use Zapier to segment your students.
- Create a Drip Campaign (schedule a series of emails) for that mailing list that matches your Drip Schedule
This way when students sign up for your course, they are automatically added to a specific mailing list with a Drip Campaign that matches your course Drip Schedule!
Note that this recommendation works well with a Drip Schedule by Calendar date and Student Enrollment Date. If you have set up a Drip by Course Start Date, you can use Zapier to add students to a specific mailing list using a lesson completed trigger instead of by new enrollment. This way they are only added to your mailing list when they officially start the course!
