In addition to granting access to everyone for your mini-course, enabling access after payment or inviting specific learners to access your mini-course, you can also grant access to your learners after email verification.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how to turn this feature on:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Go to Learners’ authentication tab on your Collection’s Settings.<\/li>\n
  2. Select Email verification option.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    \ud83d\udcacNote:<\/strong> Changing this setting will modify access for all mini-courses within the collection<\/strong>. To apply the Email verification feature to a single mini-course, create a new collection, move the mini-course into the new collection, and then enable the feature.<\/p>\n

    Using Email verification allows you to use your mini courses as educational lead magnets and effective tools to build relations and engage with your learners.<\/p>\n

    How do learners access your mini-course?<\/h3>\n

    Learners come across a pop-up when they try to access the mini-course. After they enter their name and email address, they receive an email with a code.<\/p>\n

    \"authorization<\/p>\n

    \"code<\/p>\n

    Once the learner enters the code in the confirmation email, they can proceed with accessing your mini-course seamlessly, without any password or any other login barrier.<\/p>\n

    \"access<\/p>\n

    \ud83d\udcc4The verification code grants access to your collection<\/strong>. Therefore, the learner can access to all the mini-courses in the collection repeatedly<\/strong> unless they clear their browser cookies. When a learner who had already verified their email address clears their browser cookies or accesses from a brand new device, they need to verify their email address again. Additionally, the magic link expires when clicked on so that it is not possible to share the access to the collection publicly.<\/p>\n

    \ud83d\udcad Codes are for verification purposes only. The code included in the invitation email verifies the learner\u2019s email address when clicked on and expires, therefore only allows access to the collection once. For your learners that won\u2019t be able to complete the content in one sitting, or would like to revisit your content later on, make sure to share your content with your learners.<\/p>\n

    Suppose that you’re a life-coach, and you use a Discord server for your community. Or, you manage an Instagram account. With such use-cases, pinning the share link somewhere learners can access easily again and again would be useful.<\/p>\n

    How to change the language settings of your mini course<\/h3>\n

    Mini Course Generator supports more than 30 languages besides English. The language setting of your mini-course translates the mini-course interface, sign up and payment experience of your learners as well as the access emails they receive.<\/p>\n

    Change the language setting of your mini-course by clicking on Settings<\/strong> at the top right end of your mini course edit screen. You can find supported languages under the Language<\/strong> tab. Choose whichever applicable to you and make sure to save your settings.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    How to get collected email addresses?<\/h3>\n

    Click on Learners<\/strong> at the top of your collection dashboard to see the learners. You can delete learners.<\/p>\n

    You can export the list of learners or import a CSV file to easily add many learners at once. Click on New Learner<\/strong> to add a learner to your learner list.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    How can I automate exporting the email addresses I collect?<\/h3>\n

    The integrations of Mini Course Generator with Zapier and Make enable a wide array of automations to use. For example, you can set up a Zap that sends your new learner information to your Google Sheets automatically.<\/p>\n

    \ud83d\udcad This automation does not work if your Learners’ Access setting is everyone can access.<\/p>\n

    Here’s how:<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Click here<\/a> to use the Zap template we\u2019ve created for you.<\/li>\n
    2. Connect your Mini Course Generator account with Zapier.<\/li>\n
    3. Choose the collection for your Zap trigger and test your trigger.<\/li>\n
    4. Connect your Google account to Zapier.<\/li>\n
    5. Create a Google Sheet. Name your sheet and categorize your columns.<\/li>\n
    6. \ud83d\udc40 Make sure to use the first row of your sheet to create categories such as “Learner Name” and “Learner Email Address” for Zapier to insert data to.<\/li>\n
    7. Do your action settings. Choose your spreadsheet, add learner name and learner email address to your action.<\/li>\n
    8. Test your Zap!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
