Getting Started with Courses

ClickFunnels Courses enable you to create and manage online learning experiences for your audience. This article provides step-by-step instructions on how to use the Courses feature effectively. You’ll learn how to set up your first course, organize content, and explore the key aspects of course creation and management in ClickFunnels.

Requirements

• An active ClickFunnels account

• The Course App

Accessing a Course

1. Click Courses from the left-side navigation menu.

   NOTE

   Please visit our article Adding Apps to Your ClickFunnels Workspace for detailed information on how to add apps to your navigation menu.

2. The app will take you to the Course Page displaying your existing courses or the option to create a new one.

Creating a New Course

1. Click on the Create Course button at the top right-hand corner to create a blank new course.

2. Select your Course Type from the pop-up, then click the Next Step button.

3. Type the Title, and Description, then optionally add a Course Image for the new course, then click the Next Step button to continue.

   NOTE

   The app automatically uses the title as the Course Path URL. You can edit this, but remember that the system will add an alphanumeric string at the end if the URL already exists.

4. Select if you are creating a Free or Paid course. This option is available only when creating Drip and Simple courses, but not for Custom courses.

5. The app takes you to the course page where you can manage the course.

   NOTE

   The course URL will default to the LearningHub URL (community/c/…) and change to the full course URL (courses/title…) after enabling Advanced Customization under the Customize tab. See our article How to Customize the Course Theme for more details.

   Important

   Only the Site domain can be used for courses. While you can connect multiple domains to your ClickFunnels account, courses are restricted to the site domain. For more information, check these articles:

Scheduling and Publishing a Course

2. Select Draft, then select Publish.
   

3. In the Available at field, choose a future availability date or leave blank for immediate availability.

   NOTE

   All the Media (e.g., Image, Video, and Audio) Title, Description, Themes and Styles get duplicated when a course is cloned. The URLs in the course also get duplicated, but the app automatically adds alphanumeric characters to make the URL unique. You can change the URL by updating the Course Path URL in the Course settings.
