More LMS Automation Ideas

• Course Progress to Slack: Send a notification to your team whenever a student completes a specific lesson or module.
• Role Change on Completion: Automatically promote a student to a new WordPress role (e.g., “Graduate”) once they complete a course.
• Tagging on Progress: Add a “In Progress” tag to your autoresponder as soon as a student starts their first lesson.

Always check your Logs after setting up a new recipe to ensure triggers are firing and access is being granted correctly.
