How can I use Zapier with Coursebox?

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).

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

• Automatically add learners to CRM — when a learner enrols, automatically add their details to your CRM (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 — keep a running log of enrolments or completions for reporting and compliance tracking.
• Alert trainers on Slack — notify facilitators when a learner submits an assignment or joins a new cohort.
• Sync bookings and calendars — link course registrations to Google Calendar or Calendly for session scheduling.

Integrate Zapier and Open API

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 hide it.

• Find the option Hide user counter.
• Toggle 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: New Course, New Event, New Resource, New User, New User Subscription, New User Status, User Enrolled in Course, User Enrolled in Event, User Enrolled in Resource, and Course Completed.

Coursebox action options

These are the actions Zapier can perform inside Coursebox after a trigger occurs: Enrol Into Course by Code, Enrol Into Event, Enrol Into Resource, Enrol Into Resource Directory, Invite User, Remove User Custom Field, Remove User Status, Set User Custom Field, Unenrol From Channel, Unenrol From Channel by Code, Unenrol From Course, Unenrol From Course by Code, Unenrol From Event, Unenrol From Resource, Unenrol From Resource Directory, and Update Profile.

Enrol into channel

In the Enrol Into Channel step, the User field shows a list of names (a static selector). You'll want it to map to the user created/invited earlier in the workflow.

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:
  • In Zapier: click the Custom tab (or Insert data), then choose the User ID (or Email) output from Step 2 — Invite User.
  • 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 with a sample spreadsheet row. It should create/invite the user (Step 2) → returns a User ID, then enrol that same user into the channel (Step 3).

Which value to map?

• Prefer the User ID returned by the Invite User step (often labelled 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 troubleshooting:

• No ID in outputs? Expand Show all / More to reveal hidden fields, then 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.
