Certificate link or send in email?

HI @LSP had a quick look to see if we have any notifications that could deliver the certificate but no luck...when I grabbed the link generated just before the download, it includes the system generated user ID and system generated course ID so not sure you can automate this. You might be able to derive the links to send in an email to your users but you would probably need to some kind of mail merge to create links that include their personal ID and course ID.

here’s a sample I grabbed from the certificate download icon: (changed the 1st of the link to hide our instance name)

Hi @lrnlab, thanks for the response! Too bad that’s not possible, but I came across a notification (I think it was “completed a learning plan”) that has the certificate link as a shortcode. I haven’t been able to test it yet, but fingers crossed!

@LSP interesting...I tried using short codes associated to one template in newsletters and that didn't work but perhaps that would work...please update this post if it does work

Great finding.

@LSP what was your full setup? I have a course that results in a certificate, so would I have to place it in a Learning Plan by itself to accomplish this?

This is lightly off-topic - Has anyone got this going with a course?

Any luck with Certificate download link for a Course (not a Learning Plan)?

The Notification for a completed course just links to the Course Page, so no Power User can download the Certificate for their assigned users🙁 The only way that is still available is through the legacy pages of My Activities: Users >  selected User activity > Courses > Click on the small icon next to the completed course 🙁 Very obscure and very click-heavy.

hi all; i’m jumping into this conversation a little late but i’m wondering if anyone knows a way to ‘pretty up’ the certificate link. it works well but i’d prefer if it looked like a regular link, rather than a long url...is there a way of doing this?

Hello! So this is still only an option for learning plan certificates and not courses?  Many of our PUs are asking - they want their user’s certs to be emailed to them as an attachment instead of having to go pull each one from the user’s transcripts.
