Course Announcements Made Simple

Course Announcements add a new way to communicate with learners inside GoHighLevel. You can now create, edit, clone, and delete announcements from the Courses admin area, which makes it easier to manage updates in one place.

Each announcement can include formatted text, images, and links. You can also choose who should receive it by targeting learners in specific courses or sharing it across all courses. For important messages, GHL also gives you the option to send the announcement by email.

On the learner side, new announcements can appear through banners and unread indicators. Learners can also view a full list of announcements and open each message without leaving the course experience. This gives course creators a much clearer way to share updates while keeping learners focused on the content.

Course Announcements matter because they help you share important updates where learners are already active. You no longer need to depend on a separate email campaign for every reminder, change, or notice.

This can save time and make course communication easier to manage. You can use announcements for new lesson releases, schedule changes, live session reminders, updated resources, or anything else learners need to know.

For agencies, course creators, and businesses using GHL for training, this also creates a better learner experience. Messages stay connected to the course, important updates are easier to find, and email can still be used when a message needs extra attention.

Course Announcements in GHL let you share updates, reminders, and important notices with learners from one place. In this guide, you’ll learn how to open the Announcements area, create a new announcement, choose your audience, add your message, and decide whether to send an email notification.

Here are the steps we will follow:

Once your Course Announcements are set up, you can use them for new lesson notices, reminders, schedule changes, course updates, or other important messages. This gives you a simple way to keep learners informed without creating a separate campaign every time.

Course Announcements work best when the message is clear and easy to act on. Keep each announcement focused on one main update so learners know what matters right away.

Use short titles that explain the purpose of the message. If the update is only for one course, use the Specific course option instead of sending it to everyone. This keeps your announcements more relevant and avoids extra noise.

Use email notifications for important or time-sensitive updates, such as schedule changes, new lesson releases, or urgent reminders. For smaller updates, the in-course announcement may be enough. This helps you keep learners informed without overloading their inbox.

Course Announcements can make it easier to keep learners informed without adding more work to your day. Instead of building a separate email campaign for every small update, you can post the message inside the course and send an email only when needed.

For example, if you release a new lesson, you can post an announcement to the right course, explain what is new, and include a link if needed. Learners can see the update inside their course, and you can also send the same message by email for extra visibility.

This can help reduce missed updates and keep communication in one place. For agencies and course creators using GHL, that means a simpler process, fewer extra steps, and a cleaner learner experience.

Course Announcements give GoHighLevel users a simple way to keep learners informed without relying on a separate email for every update. You can post reminders, lesson updates, schedule changes, and other important notices right inside the course experience.

The biggest benefit is control. You can choose who sees each message, add rich content, and use email notifications when an update needs extra attention. That keeps communication clear without making the process harder than it needs to be.

If you use GHL for courses or training, this is a feature worth testing with your next learner update. How do you plan to use Course Announcements in your courses?
