WordPress CRM for Course Creators: Turn Students into Lifetime Customers

Available LMS Automation Triggers

Building Your Student CRM

Use DoubleScale custom fields to store: enrollment date, last lesson completed, quiz scores, certificate URL. Use tags to identify: current students, graduates, coaching clients, and alumni. Tags power segmented campaigns for new course launches — target only alumni who have not yet enrolled in the new course.
