How to Create Custom Email Notifications for Your Course

Create personalized email notifications for your course and individual sessions, ensuring your students receive the right information at the right time. By customizing your notifications, you can ensure your messages are more relevant, timely, and aligned with your course objectives.

Example (Use Case)

Imagine you are running a series of workshops as part of your course, and you want to send reminders to attendees about upcoming sessions. With custom email notifications, you can create a reminder email that is automatically sent to attendees one day before each session. This not only ensures your students are well-prepared but also increases the likelihood of full attendance.

Benefits

• Enhanced Communication: Custom email notifications allow you to communicate more effectively with your students by sending them information that is specific to their needs and the course structure.
• Increased Engagement: Timely and relevant emails help keep students engaged, reminding them of important dates, assignments, and sessions.
• Automated Workflow: By setting up automated notifications, you can save time while ensuring that important communications are consistently delivered without manual intervention.
