Email Settings

There are some settings available that can help set up various email notifications for instructors. There are different types of email settings to help configure emails to be sent for course or product reviews, course purchases, and quiz completion.

Review Emails

The admin can customize the emails to be sent when a course or a product is reviewed from the  LearnDash LMS → Instructor → Emails settings.

There are 2 sections for configuring review emails for Courses and Products.

Instructor Review Email Settings



Under each tab, there are settings to configure the review emails with shortcodes that can be used as placeholders for dynamic data related to course, product or instructors which is sent to the administrator and instructor automatically.

Quiz Completion Emails

Instructors can now also receive an email notification for quizzes taken by students. This email is sent to the course author as well as the shared course authors, if any.

To activate this feature login as the admin, go to  LearnDash LMS → Instructor → Settings. Check the “Enable email notification for Instructors on quiz completion” option.
