About This Automation

Enrolling a new student into an online course involves confirming payment, creating a learning platform account, updating a customer record, and sending welcome materials. Done by hand, these repetitive steps eat up time and delay how quickly a new student can start learning.

An automated version confirms payment, creates the student account, updates records, and sends welcome communications without manual re-entry. Students gain access faster and staff spend less time on repetitive administrative work.

Key features:
Confirm incoming payments match the selected course and plan automatically
Create the student's learning platform account without manual data entry
Sync new student details to the customer record system in real time
Send welcome emails and community invitations automatically after enrollment
Log every enrollment in a shared tracker without re-typing information
Monitor student login activity and trigger a nudge if a student has not started

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. New Enrollment Payment Receivedtrigger

Sends a payment confirmation the moment a student completes checkout for a course.

2. Resolve Payment Discrepancy

If the payment amount doesn't match the course price, the coordinator is alerted to check the transaction before onboarding continues.

3. Create Student Account

A account is created automatically with the correct course access as soon as payment is confirmed.

4. Sync Record To CRM

The student's contact and enrollment details are pushed as a new record.

5. Send Welcome And Community Invite

The automation sends the welcome email with login details and adds the student community channel.

6. Track Onboarding And Send Materials

The automation logs the enrollment in the tracking spreadsheet, sends the course materials, and checks LMS activity to nudge students who haven't logged in.

7. Update Onboarding Status

Is updated to mark the student's onboarding stage complete once materials are delivered and access is confirmed.
