Ok, so here’s the use case. Every month we deliver a “Power Up” session for users of our product, announcing feature adds, upgrades, road maps, and the like. These are delivered to any of our internal or external users who choose to enroll in the course. Here’s the current process: Each month, once we know the content, guests, and date, we create an ILT course, session and then the event as a vILT session with a custom conference link. We also attach a notification to this course acknowledging the enrollment with further join instructions. While we do add the course to a catalog, the huge majority of the participants enroll by clicking on the enrollment link embedded in a promotion email that goes out to all users with a last active date within the previous two years. It works fine, but we get comments saying that instead of relying on receiving the email or remembering to navigate to the catalog every month, that it would be nice to be able to instead opt in to be auto-enrolled in the upcoming sessions. I have a small admin team doing all this so the more automated the better.
Here are the issues I’m seeing:
- It requires auto-enrolling to a course that hasn’t been created yet.
- It requires that the user can also opt out when they like.
- Groups won’t really work here, because they can only be triggered by course action and not the will of the user. (I’m thinking check box here)
What I’m imagining in a blank slate world is classifying the course with something and then have a group and enrollment rule enroll anyone who is in the group to any course with that classification. I get that this doesn’t exist, but I’m wondering if anyone with a similar use case has done this. I think it’s possible that a Docebo Connect recipe could possibly be made, where the user opts in with another link in the email, that populates a list, and the recipe executes the enrollment when triggered by the course creation. Any thoughts? Wild schemes? Ideas?
