How to send automated course reminder emails to students

Life with a baby is busy, and parents sometimes stop halfway through your course. Reminder emails gently bring them back.

Turn on reminders

1. Go to Assets, then Courses.
2. Click the three dots on the course and choose Settings.
3. Scroll to Email reminders and tick Enable email reminders.
4. Click Reminder settings.

When to send

Choose one of these:

• A number of days after enrolling.
• A number of days after their last login.

You can also pick the time of day the email goes out.

Who receives it

• Students who have not started the course.
• Students who started but stopped, with a minimum progress percentage you choose.

You can turn on both.

How often

• Once: one email, sent when the condition is met.
• Repeat: send again every X days. Then choose when to stop: on a set date, or after a number of emails.

Write the email

Use the same editor as your newsletters and campaigns. All personalization tags work, plus one made for this feature: {course_link}, which becomes a direct link to the course.

Click Save at the top right to switch reminders on.
