Hack for creating Skool automations

If you’re running a Skool membership, something that was a block for me actually turned out to be a kind of good thing after I found the workaround,

It’s to do with automations.

So when something unlocks for a member as they level- up, I wanted to be able to tag them, and then be able to add them to an appropriate funnel/sequence, to send emails, to a related offer, onboard etc.

That zap doesn’t exist though, so what I did was really quite simple. Instead of adding all my unlocked items into Skool, I keep them in my ThriveCart learn, (no need to move things over or duplicate it in places - Hello time saver!!)

Then inside the unlocked course, I include a link to the checkout of in thrivecart, and a 100% off discount code for them to use (as well as thank you’s and other information about what they’ve unlocked.)

My ThriveCart has been setup to tag people in my ConvertKit depending on what they buy, which triggers sequences etc.

So now, as people get rewarded with things, I can choose what happens.

Doing it this way gives me heaps more control too. I can put time limits on access (eg one of my unlocked courses has a 1 month container). So even though they’ll still have ongoing access to the unlocked level in Skool even after the 1 month is up… automatically their access to the course is removed via ThriveCart.

This was also a win for me because my signature offer is in TC and I don’t plan to move in Skool. So apart from convenience and automations now being able to be used, it also means if someone logs into my thrivecart, everything they have access to is in one place and they can go in and out of everything in one spot without confusion about where anything is.

I hope this helps someone looking for workarounds too ❤️
