Automations · On every plan

Your course business, on autopilot.

Build automations that react to what students actually do — or run on a schedule — with branching logic, delays, and a dozen actions across email, access, tags, sequences, and community. No third-party automation tool, no extra subscription.

Triggers

Start from an event, or from the clock.

Event triggers

React to real student activity the moment it happens. New enrollments, purchases, and other business events flow straight into your automations — with deduplication built in, so nothing runs twice.

Schedule triggers

Run on the clock instead: every day, or on a specific day of the month at the time you choose — for digests, check-ins, renewals, housekeeping, and anything else with a rhythm.

Actions

Then do real work, not just send a ping.

Send email

Templated email as a step in the flow — with consent and suppression rules enforced automatically, so unsubscribed contacts are never mailed.

Grant or revoke course access

Unlock a course when someone qualifies — optionally for a set number of days — or revoke it when they lapse.

Enroll in sequences

Drop a contact into (or pull them out of) a drip email sequence as one step of a bigger flow.

Tags & segmentation

Add and remove tags to route people into the right segments — the raw material for targeted campaigns.

Community spaces

Add buyers to a members-only space automatically — or remove them when access ends.

Webhooks & owner tasks

Call any external system with a webhook, or create a task for yourself with a due date when a human touch beats automation.

Logic

Branching, delays, and conditions — built in.

If / else branching

Split the flow on what a student did — completed a lesson within a window, carries a tag, matches contact rules — and treat each branch differently.

Waits & delays

Pause a flow for minutes or days between steps. The engine tracks every wait and resumes exactly where it left off.

Versioned & testable

Automations are drafted, tested with a dry run, then published as a version — with run history, retries, and failure codes you can actually inspect.

Questions

Course automations, answered.

Do I need Zapier or a separate automation tool?
For the course business itself, no — triggers, logic, email, access, and community actions are native, and they operate on live student data. For everything else, the webhook action calls out to any system you like.
Is this on every plan?
Yes. Like everything in CourseKit, automations are not gated to a top tier — the only thing that changes between plans is the transaction fee.
What should I automate first?
Onboarding. A welcome email at enrollment, a three-day check, and a nudge sequence for students who stall — the first two weeks decide completion, per the completion data.
How does this relate to email sequences?
Sequences are the always-on drip campaigns; automations are the logic layer that enrolls people into them (and much more) based on behavior. The five-sequence playbook shows what to build.
