Zapier is an automation tool that connects Coursebox with hundreds of other apps by linking Coursebox to your favourite tools, you can automate repetitive tasks, streamline workflows, and save time across your learning operations.

Zapier works by creating “Zaps”—automated workflows that trigger actions in other apps when something happens in Coursebox (e.g. a new enrolment, course completion, or group registration).

Watch the video below, or explore more tutorials in our Demonstration Video Library.

Here are some practical ways RTOs, educators, and course creators can use Zapier with Coursebox:

• Automatically Add Learners to CRM
  When a learner enrols in a Coursebox course, automatically add their details to your CRM platform (e.g. Salesforce, HubSpot).

• Send Welcome Emails
  Trigger a personalised email via Gmail or Mailchimp when a new learner joins a course or group.

• Track Course Enrolments in Google Sheets
  Create a running log of learner enrolments or completions in a Google Sheet for easy reporting and compliance tracking.

• Alert Trainers on Slack
  Notify facilitators via Slack when a learner submits an assignment or joins a new cohort.

• Sync Bookings and Calendars
  Link course registrations to calendar tools like Google Calendar or Calendly for session scheduling.

Integrate Zapier and Open API

Zapier allows you to connect Coursebox with thousands of other applications to automate tasks such as enrolling users, updating profiles, and tracking completions — without writing any code.
Using Coursebox’s Open API and Zapier integration, you can build workflows that save time and ensure seamless user management. 

Access Your Open API Key

To connect Coursebox with Zapier, you’ll need your API Key.

• Log in as a Super Admin.

• Go to Settings → Open API.

• Copy the displayed API Key for use in Zapier.

• If needed, click Reset API Key to generate a new one.

Allow Expert Access (Optional)

If you’d like specific team members to access integrations, turn on Approved Experts under your settings.

Hide User Counter on Login Page

On the login page, Coursebox displays the number of users in your community. If you prefer not to show this number, you can easily hide it.

• Find the option Hide user counter.

• Toggle to ON to hide the counter.

• When enabled, the user count will no longer appear on the login page.

Access the Zapier Integration

1. Open your course and click Publish this course.

2. Select the Zapier icon located below the sharing options.

• You’ll be directed to the Coursebox LMS Integrations page on Zapier.

• Sign in or create a Zapier account using email or Google login.

Connect Coursebox to Zapier

When setting up a Zap with Coursebox, you’ll be prompted to connect your Coursebox account.
This connection allows Zapier to communicate securely with your learning platform and perform actions automatically.

How to Connect

• In Zapier, select Coursebox LMS as your app.

• When prompted, enter the following:

  • API Key – found in your Coursebox Settings → Open API section.

  • Coursebox Domain – your portal’s URL (e.g., https://my.coursebox.ai).

• Click Continue to authorise the connection.

You can reset your API Key at any time to generate a new one.
This adds an extra layer of security and ensures your integrations remain private and protected.

Zapier Integration Options

Once your Coursebox account is connected, you can use it as either a Trigger (an event that starts an automation) or an Action (a task Zapier performs).

Coursebox Trigger Options

These triggers start your Zaps when specific events occur in Coursebox:

Coursebox Action Options

These are the actions Zapier can perform inside Coursebox after a trigger occurs:

Enrol into channel

Follow These Steps

• Open Step 3 – Coursebox LMS: Enrol Into Channel.
• In User, don’t pick a name from the list.
• Instead, map the value from a previous step:
  • If you’re in Zapier: click the Custom tab (or “Insert data”), then choose the User ID (or Email) output from Step 2 – Invite User.
  • If you’re in Make (Integromat): click the { } / Add variable icon next to the field and select the User ID (or Email) from Invite User.
• Keep Channel as your chosen channel (e.g., IEP Ambassador Program – Oct 2025).
• Test: run the workflow with a sample spreadsheet row. It should:
  • Create/invite the user (Step 2) → returns a User ID
  • Enrol that same user into the channel (Step 3)

• Prefer User ID returned by the Invite User step (often labeled user.id, Coursebox User ID, or similar).
• If ID isn’t available, map the Email—the enrol action accepts email in most Coursebox app versions.
• If Zapier/Make doesn’t show fresh outputs, re-run Test on Step 2 to pull a new sample.

Quick Toubleshooting

• No ID in outputs? Expand “Show all”/“More” to reveal hidden fields; re-test Step 2.
• Multiple users enrolled? Make sure you’re mapping a single value (the invited user), not a collection.
• Still seeing Static? You can leave the “Static” list closed and insert the variable directly—once a variable is mapped, it’s dynamic even if the UI label says “Static”.
