Tutor LMS Automations

Send an Email When a Student Completes a Tutor LMS Course

You want a congratulations email, a certificate link, or an instructor notification to go out the moment a student finishes a Tutor LMS course — without checking completions by hand. Zapify does this with the A user completes a course trigger and the Send an email action. Tutor LMS is a Zapify PRO integration.

What this automation does

The automation is one trigger plus one action:

  • Trigger: A user completes a course (TUTOR_COURSE_COMPLETED)
  • Action: Send an email (WP_SEND_EMAIL)

When a student completes the course you choose, Zapify fills the email's tokens with details about that course and sends it.

Zapify listens on Tutor LMS' tutor_course_complete_after signal, which fires once Tutor LMS itself marks the course complete.

Before you start

  • Tutor LMS must be installed and active. Zapify reads your courses directly from it.
  • Zapify PRO must be active, since Tutor LMS is a PRO integration.
  • You need at least one published Tutor LMS course.

PRO feature

Tutor LMS (tutor-lms) is a Zapify PRO integration. Every Tutor LMS trigger requires an active PRO licence.

  1. In the WordPress admin, go to Zapify → Automations.

  4. If nothing arrives, open Zapify → Logs to see whether the run fired and what the action reported.

Conclusion

With the A user completes a course trigger and the Send an email action, Zapify congratulates a student automatically the moment they finish a Tutor LMS course. Next, welcome students as soon as they start with an email when a user is enrolled on a Tutor LMS course, or reach a mid-course milestone with an email when a Tutor LMS lesson is completed.

FAQs

Can Zapify send an email when a student completes a Tutor LMS course?

Yes. Add the A user completes a course trigger for Tutor LMS and pair it with the Send an email action. Zapify fires on Tutor LMS' own completion event and sends the email you configured to whichever recipient you set.

Is this feature free?

No. Tutor LMS is a Zapify PRO integration, so the trigger requires an active PRO licence. The Send an email action itself is free.

Can I choose which course triggers the automation?

Yes. Select a specific course in the trigger's Course field, or leave it on Any course.

Can I include the course name in the email?

Yes. Insert the Course title or Course URL token with the {} button.

Why didn't the email send?

First confirm both the trigger and action are set to Live and the automation is saved. Then check Zapify → Logs for the run. If the run succeeded but no email arrived, the issue is usually the site's mail configuration; an SMTP plugin resolves most delivery problems.

Do I need to write any code?

No. The entire automation is built in the Zapify visual builder.
