Issue a Module Completion Badge in GHL

Reward students as soon as they finish a module. This video shows how to set up the badge and email in GHL.

Inside this video:

• Create a new workflow from scratch.
• Add the Category Completed trigger.
• Choose the right course and module.
• Add the badge, email, and publish steps.

When a student finishes the module you choose, GHL starts the workflow. The Category Completed trigger watches for that step. This is what starts your module completion badge process.

From there, GHL checks your filters and runs each action in order.

• The Product filter tells GHL which course to watch.
• The Category filter points to the exact module you want to track.
• The Issue Badge action gives the student the module completion badge.
• The Send Email action sends a short message to mark the progress.

Once you save and publish the workflow, GHL handles the process for you. Each student who meets the right conditions gets the same badge and email. This gives you a simple way to mark progress without checking each student by hand.

Your module completion badge starts with the Category Completed trigger. In GHL, this trigger runs when a student finishes the course section you choose. It gives you a clear way to reward progress at the right point in your course.

The main thing to get right is your filters. You want the workflow to run only for the course and module you plan to track.

• The Product filter tells GHL which course to watch.
• The Category filter tells GHL which module the student must finish.
• Using both filters helps you avoid sending a badge for the wrong course step.

Once the student meets both conditions, GHL starts the workflow. You can then issue the module completion badge and send the follow-up email. This gives you more control, especially when you manage several courses in one account.

When a student finishes a module, that moment should feel clear. A module completion badge gives them a simple sign that they reached the next step. It helps you mark progress without adding more work to your day.

You can also use the badge with a short email to make the milestone more useful.

• The badge gives the student a clear sign of progress.
• The email confirms what they finished and what to do next.
• The reward is sent as soon as the module is complete.
• You do not have to check each student by hand.

For you, the main benefit is consistency. Each student gets the same response at the same point in the course. That makes your course easier to manage and gives students a clear reason to keep moving forward.

You’ll build the module completion badge in a GHL workflow. The workflow starts when a student finishes the module you choose. GHL then gives the badge and sends a short email.

The steps below show you how to set the trigger, pick the right course and module, add the badge and email, and publish the workflow. This helps you reward each student at the right time with less manual work.

That gives you a clear process you can use again and again.

A module completion badge gives you a simple way to mark progress without adding more work to your day. You set the rule once, and GHL handles the reward each time a student finishes the right module.

That leads to a few clear gains you can expect.

• Your students get a clear reward when they finish the module.
• Your follow-up email is sent at the same point each time.
• You spend less time checking course progress by hand.
• You can use the same setup for other modules.
• Your course has a more steady way to mark progress.

For you, the main win is consistency. You know when the badge and email will go out, and your students know when they have reached the next step. That makes each module completion badge part of a clear path through the course.

A module completion badge is easy to use once your workflow is set. Still, small setup errors can cause trouble. These questions can help you check the key parts before a student gets the wrong result.

Before you turn the workflow on, give it one last check. This is your chance to catch a bad filter, badge, or email before a student gets it.

Check each part before you publish.

• Make sure the right Product is set.
• Make sure the right Category or module is set.
• Check that the right module completion badge is linked.
• Review the sender name, email, subject, and message.
• Make sure Contact Timezone is set.
• Save the workflow and turn it on.

Once these checks are done, your setup is ready. You can now reward course progress in GHL with less manual work and fewer setup errors.
