Frequently asked questions
Where does the enrollment trigger come from?
Your course platform (Teachable, Thinkific, Kajabi, Podia) or checkout fires a webhook on new enrollment. The workflow captures the student's name, email and course, then starts the drip. No manual list management.
Why not just use the platform's emails?
Most course platforms send one generic receipt. This drip is paced around behavior — a nudge if they haven't started lesson one, a check-in mid-course — which is what actually moves completion. You control the timing and copy, not the platform.
