    Two Ways to Drip Content

    Release lessons on your schedule — choose the approach that fits your teaching style

    Calendar-Based

    Best for cohort courses

    Everyone starts and progresses together. Set specific dates and your entire cohort moves through the material in sync.

    All students see the same schedule

    Individual Release

    Best for evergreen courses

    Each student gets their own timeline based on when they enrolled. Perfect for courses that accept students year-round.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I customize welcome emails?

    Yes! You have full control over welcome email content. Use variables like {{first_name}} and {{course_name}} to personalize each message. You can also include links, images, and formatted text.

    How does drip content work?

    Choose Calendar-Based to release content on specific dates (great for cohorts) or Individual Release to drip based on days since enrollment (perfect for evergreen courses). Students are notified when new content unlocks.

    Can I schedule messages in advance?

    Absolutely! Use the course calendar to schedule messages to all students. Great for reminders, encouragement, or supplementary content throughout the course.

    What notifications do students receive?

    Students receive welcome emails at enrollment, notifications when new modules unlock (for drip courses), and a daily digest of course activity by default, which they can customize to weekly, immediate, or off.
