Course start date setting and reminders

In order to set Course date setting, Enterprise plan of the app will be required. Enterprise plan supports Shopify Flow triggers.

Course date feature is useful if you'd like to start sales with your course product right away, while the start date of your course is in the future. This allows you to:

• pre-sell courses, so students pay before the launch date;
• indicate course start date and time in case your course, or a part of it, is offline and students need to attend it at certain date/time;
• synchronize start date for your students;
• you can change start date in case your course is periodic and starts once per certain period of time.

1. To get started, please select a course in My Courses section of Courses Plus admin:

On the right side choose General settings:

Scroll down to Course date and time setting:

• You can choose start date and time for each course;
• set amount of hours before the start date/time you'll need Flow event to be triggered. It will allow you to run Shopify Flow actions and connect other services such as WorkflowMail, in order to notify your customers with the information you need, or remind them that your course starts soon.

Open Shopify Flow app in your store's admin, create new Workflow and press Select a trigger:

Open Courses Plus tiggers and select the needed trigger:

• Course start reminder - for notifiying yourself or course instructor for example about course start
• Course start reminder for each student - to remind the students about course start

Add an action that should run if it's time to notify your students about course start (X hours before course start date/time set by you). For example, you can use WorkflowMail in order to send emails.

• For Course start reminder you can choose - Send transactional email (by specific email)
• For Course start reminder for each student choose - Send transactional email

Course start reminder:

Course start reminder for each student:

Fill required fields in the WorkflowMail action settings:

Don't forget to activate the workflow. You're all set
