Keep training on track with timely reminders and compliance automation
Manage journey logic, emails, mobile reminders, and learner follow-ups in one place
Best for:
Teams that want to automate onboarding, train, and support learners at scale without spending hours chasing progress or managing every follow-up manually.
Equip your academy with intelligent automations
Free up your team’s bandwidth
Design user onboarding automation once, from signup to first success, and let it run. Workflow automations handle follow-ups, nudges, and next steps so customers and partners keep moving without manual chasing.
Guide every learner to value faster
Track where customers, partners, or client teams are in their training and trigger the right action based on their behavior with personalized automation. No one gets stuck, and you reach adoption milestones faster.
Stay relevant at every stage of adoption
Personalized automations adapt to learner behavior. Whether someone completes training early or goes quiet, the right response fires automatically, keeping onboarding, activation, and ongoing engagement on track.
AI automation that gives you a head start
Let AI draft your first journey
Describe your goal in plain language—”re-engage learners who haven’t logged in for 2 weeks” or “onboard new B2B clients in 5 steps”—and AI automation creates a starting workflow for you. Then review it and make it yours.
Make it yours with drag-and-drop
Once the draft is ready, take full control. Drag in new steps, reorder actions, adjust time delays, and fine-tune branch conditions in a visual builder your team can use.
Personalize every detail
Tweak messaging, timing, and logic to match your audience, brand, and training goals. AI automation gives you the starting point, while personalized automation lets you adapt the workflow to learner behavior.
