TalentLMS allows you to generate and email certificates to Learners who have completed a course through notifications.
| Note: If you have set up an automated certificate expiration and renewal process for compliance training, note that the notification will only trigger on the first certificate acquisition. |
If you want to allow your Learners to download their certificates, follow these steps:
1. Sign in to your TalentLMS account as an Administrator, go to Notifications (1), and click Add notification (2).
2. Type a Name (3) for your notification in the respective field.
3. From the Event drop-down list, choose On certificate acquisition (4).
4. Optionally, you can add a Filter (5) to associate your notification to one or more specific TalentLMS courses.
5. Select the Recipient (6).
6. In the notification body text area, do as follows:
- On the first line, type a subject for your notification email (e.g., Certificate of awesomeness), and press Enter to change lines.
- Then, type your notification and ensure that you have included the certification URL smart tag (7) (e.g., Congratulations {related_user_first_name}! You recently completed the course "{course_name}. Download your certification from this link {certification_url}").
- Finally, add a footer with some basic notification info (e.g., This email was sent from {site_url} at {time}).
7. Click Save (8) to save your settings.
| Note: Anyone with this URL will be able to download the related certification without logging in to TalentLMS. The current limit is 5 downloads per minute. If the URL is used at a higher frequency, a related error message should be shown. |
| Note: This URL is also available via the TalentLMS API. To be able to see a “download_url” you can use either the call api/v1/users/id:{id} or the call api/v1/getusersbycustomfield/custom_field_value:{value}. This is a private URL and you need to be logged in to the portal to be able to download the certificate from this URL. In addition to this URL, a public URL will also be added, with which you will be able to download the certificates without logging in to the portal first. |
