Send course certificates automatically
A final course completion update can prompt the certificate delivery that learners are waiting for.
Trigger
Channel Message Received

Action
Create, issue, and send credential
Tool to create, issue, and send a credential in a single request. use when group id and recipient details are ready.
Why this helps
Founders running a course can have completion notices scattered across channels while certificates wait in a manual queue.
- Reduce the gap between course completion and recognition.
- Avoid a separate manual certificate reminder list.
- Use an explicit completion update as the cue.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Certifier to Notis once.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it.
- 3In one plain-language instruction, describe issuing and sending a certificate only when a course completion post has ready recipient and group details.
- 4Pick the Slack channel message trigger and set a run-report channel.
- 5Test with one real completion post.
Questions about this workflow
Can it issue certificates for partial progress?
Specify that only completed courses qualify, and test the instruction with a final completion message.
What if the learner details are not in the post?
Require ready recipient and group details in the instruction so the workflow has what Certifier needs.
