Add course specific text to notification emails

Elizabeth
  • Updated

Summary

Course specific text is information you provide to learners for a specific course through routine notifications.

Notifications, email templates and course-specific texts are available to all customers.

LearnUpon offers 4 types of notifications that can include course specific text:

  • Enrollments
  • Reminders 
  • Course completions
  • General

The CK Editor provides rich-text formatting for course specific text, to include brand images and style. The character limit is set to accommodate additional HTML formatting.

You set up this feature in 2 places in the portal:

  • write the text in Notifications at the course level
  • edit the relevant custom email templates to include course-specific text at portal level
