| Note: Learning Paths are available on the Grow plan and above. Grow accounts can create up to 5 learning paths, while Pro and Enterprise accounts have no limit. Learning Paths are not available on the Free or Core plan. Click here to read more about how to create and manage Learning Paths in TalentLMS. |
TalentLMS can automatically send email notifications to Admins, Instructors, and Learners when certain events related to Learning Paths occur. These help keep everyone informed at key moments, such as assignment and completion.
Below are the current Learning Path notification events, how they work, and how to set them up.
Learning Path notification events
TalentLMS supports three notification events related to Learning Paths:
-
On Learning Path assignment
This notification is triggered when a Learner is enrolled in a Learning Path. You can send it to the Learner or to specific recipients, such as an Instructor or Admin. -
X hours after Learning Path acquisition
This is a timed reminder sent to the Learner a specified number of hours after they’ve been assigned a Learning Path. You set the delay when configuring the notification. -
On Learning Path completion
This notification is sent when a Learner completes a Learning Path based on the defined completion rule (e.g., completing all courses, a percentage, or selected courses). It can be sent to the Learner and optionally to Admins or Instructors.
| Note: More notification events may be added in later versions. |
To create a Learning Path notification:
1. Sign in to your TalentLMS account as an Administrator, then from the left‑side menu go to Notifications (1).
2. Click Add notification (2).
3. Type a Name (3) for your notification.
4. From the Event (4) dropdown, choose one of the Learning Path events listed above (e.g., On Learning Path assignment).
5. (Optional) Filter (5) by one or more Learning Paths, or exclude specific Learning Paths from this notification.
6. In Recipient (6), choose who should receive this notification (e.g., Related user, Account owner, Super admins, Specific recipients, Learning path instructors, Branch admins).
7. Specify the Notification body (7):
- Subject line (e.g., You were assigned to a new learning path)
- Main message (use Smart Tags in curly brackets, e.g., {related_user_first_name}, {learning_path_name}, etc.)
- Footer: basic info (e.g., This message was sent from {site_url} at {time})
8. Set any other options (like delay if using “X hours after acquisition”) and click Save (8).
Additional information for Learning Path notifications
- Smart Tags: As with other types of notifications, you can include variables/tags (e.g., {related_user_first_name}, {learning_path_name}) that the system replaces with real data when sending.
- Delay settings: The “X hours after acquisition” event needs a delay number; you choose how many hours after assignment the notification is sent.
- Multiple recipients: To set more than one recipient, e.g., send to a Learner and an Instructor or Admin, you will need to create multiple notifications, with the same event trigger and different recipient settings.
- Completion rules effect: The notification on completion is triggered when the Learner meets whatever completion rule you’ve set for your learning path (all courses / percentage / specific courses). If you change the rules, only new completions respect the updated rules.
