About This Automation

Converting leads to course enrolments involves manual qualification, email outreach, invoice generation, and payment chasing across multiple tools. This fragmented workflow causes delays in first contact and lost revenue from unpaid invoices.

Automation evaluates lead fit instantly, sends welcome messages within minutes, and monitors payments automatically with reminders. The result is faster enrolments, higher payment completion, and staff freed from repetitive follow-up work.

Key features:
Qualify leads automatically against course fit criteria and assign qualification scores
Send welcome emails instantly upon lead capture with personalized course details
Generate and send payment invoices automatically with unique payment links
Monitor payment status and trigger reminders for unpaid invoices without manual intervention
Update enrolment records and notify team members when payment is received
Track conversion metrics and identify bottlenecks in the sales pipeline

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Lead Submits Enquirytrigger

New lead form submission or ad response is detected. Lead record is created with name, email, course interest, and budget.

2. Qualify Lead Automatically

The automation evaluates lead against course fit rules: budget match, course level, availability. Lead is tagged as Qualified or Not Qualified.

3. Send Welcome Email

Personalised welcome email is sent immediately, including course details, next steps, and payment link.

4. Create Enrolment Record

Enrolment record is created, linked to the course and start date, with status set to Pending Payment.

5. Send Payment Invoice

Payment invoice is generated and sent, with automatic reminders scheduled for day 3 and day 7 if unpaid.

6. Monitor Payment Status

Automation checks for payment receipt. When payment is confirmed, lead status is updated to Enrolled.

7. Notify Team

Confirmation message is posted with student name, course, and start date, alerting the instructor and support team.
