Scheduled email templates

Scheduled email templates are emails that are triggered by the start or end date of a course. Therefore these emails need to be created within a Course Template. Each time a new Course Edition of this Course Template is planned, all these emails will be automatically scheduled. 


Note: if you add a new email action to a course template, this email action will not be applied to existing course editions. New email actions will only be planned for newly created course editions. 



Where to find email actions

  1. Go to "Courses" > "Templates" 
  2. Click on an already existing Course Template
  3. Click on the tab "Scheduled email templates"
