WordPress Plugin integration with WooCommerce

The Coursebox WooCommerce Plugin seamlessly connects your Coursebox account with your online store, making it easy to sell your existing courses directly through WooCommerce.

With this integration, your courses can be listed as products in your store, and customers are automatically enrolled in the correct course as soon as they complete their purchase. No more manual enrollments — saving you time and simplifying your workflow.

This integration lets you combine Coursebox’s powerful AI-driven course creation and management features with the flexibility of WooCommerce, giving you full control over sales, enrollments, and the customer experience.

Quick Start Guide – Coursebox WooCommerce Plugin

Step 1: Install & Activate

• Upload the plugin files to /wp-content/plugins/course-box or install it directly from the WordPress Plugins screen.

• Go to Plugins → Installed Plugins and click Activate.

• Make sure WooCommerce is installed and active.

Step 2: Connect to Coursebox

• Go to Course Box → Settings

• Get your API URL and API Key.

• Go to WordPress and enter API URL and API Key to connect to your Coursebox Account.

• The API Base URL must be the root domain of your Coursebox portal (for example, marketplace users should enter https://my.coursebox.ai). Once saved, the status will update to "Configured" and "Active."

Step 3: Import Your Courses

Navigate to Course Box → Import Courses. Here, you’ll see all your available Coursebox courses with images, descriptions, and import options. Simply click Import Course to bring a course into your WooCommerce store.

Step 4: Publish Your Courses

Once imported, each course is listed as a WooCommerce product. You can adjust pricing, categories, and tags directly in WooCommerce, just like any other product. Customers can then add courses to their cart and purchase as usual.

For more information, view the WordPress Plugin Directory information.

Sync Arlo

The Super Admin can sync Arlo accounts with Coursebox Branded Training Platform (Premium) by simply providing Arlo’s login URL and credentials.

*This document assumes that the user is familiar with Arlo and has basic understanding of the integration.

Importing a SCORM File

SCORM stands for “Sharable Content Object Reference Model”. It is a standard course content file type which is adopted by traditional eLearning systems to create a course.

If you already have a SCORM file then you can import the file into Coursebox Branded Training Platform (Premium) to automatically create the entire course with a click of a button. SCORM integration is perfect for including simulations, branching scenarios, or assessments built in third-party tools while keeping everything accessible within your Coursebox course.

Tip: For more information related to SCORM, visit the Wikipedia page to learn more.

Using SCORM you can create a highly interactive course which takes advantage of all the HTML 5 features.

The Steps are:

• Prepare Your SCORM Package. Ensure your SCORM file is a zipped package (.zip) and compatible with SCORM 1.2 or SCORM 2004 standards.

• Navigate to the course where you want to add the SCORM content.

• Select SCORM from the menu.

• Click Upload File, then select your SCORM .zip file from your computer.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________

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 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

• Open your course and click Publish this course.

• 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

In the Enrol Into Channel step, the User field currently shows a list of names (that’s a static selector). We want it to map to the user created/invited earlier in the workflow.

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)

Which Value to Map?

• 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”.
