Tutor LMS Automations
Send a Welcome Email When a Student Is Enrolled on a Tutor LMS Course
You want new students to get a welcome email and a course overview the moment they enrol. Zapify does this with the A user is enrolled on 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 is enrolled on a course (
TUTOR_COURSE_ENROLLED) - Action: Send an email (
WP_SEND_EMAIL)
When a student is enrolled on the course you choose, Zapify fills the email's tokens and sends it.
Zapify listens on Tutor LMS' tutor_after_enrolled signal, which fires as soon as the enrolment is recorded.
Before you start
- Tutor LMS must be installed and active.
- Zapify PRO must be active, since Tutor LMS is a PRO integration.
- The course you want to watch must already exist.
PRO feature
Tutor LMS (tutor-lms) is a Zapify PRO integration. Every Tutor LMS trigger requires an active PRO licence.
