Overview

Course emails are sent to students and course participants. They cover enrollment confirmations, secure login links, and engagement notifications.

Customizing course emails

Course email templates are project templates, shared by every course in the project, and listed under Courses in the template list (Settings → Apps → Emails). To change them for every course:
  1. Open Settings → Apps → Emails in the sidebar
  2. Find the course template (e.g., “Course Enrollment”)
  3. Open in the Visual Builder or Code Editor
  4. Customize the design while keeping variables intact

​
A welcome email for one course

In the course’s Settings → Student emails, the Welcome email picker lists the course templates (Course Enrollment, Course Magic Link and their copies). Duplicate for this course copies the selected template, names it after the course and makes it this course’s welcome email. Send test to me sends it to your own address. Each new student gets the welcome email once; students enrolled more than 7 days ago are not emailed. See Courses.
