How to Automate Your Course Onboarding Emails

Are you manually sending welcome emails, setup instructions, and resources to every new student? That’s time-consuming and inconsistent. With Summrly, you can automate a professional onboarding sequence that sends the right messages at the right time — so students feel supported from day one.

Why a Content-First Website Solves This

When your site starts with a topic, onboarding becomes an extension of your content. After a student enrolls, Summrly triggers a series of branded emails: welcome, module preview, video tutorial, and check-in — all using your existing content and voice.

Enter your topic below to start building your site and deliver a smooth, scalable onboarding process that builds trust and reduces support questions.
