Teachable + Flodesk: Sync Students into Beautiful Email Sequences

The connection: Zapier in the middle

You will need a Zapier account (the free tier works for one or two Zaps; a paid tier if you want filters and paths).

The base Zap:

• ●Trigger: New Enrollment in Teachable
• ●Action: Create or Update Subscriber in Flodesk (email, first name)
• ●Action: Add Subscriber to Segment in Flodesk (the course-specific segment)

Segmentation: do this before you start

Inside Flodesk, create segments before you build the Zap. At minimum:

• ●One segment per paid course
• ●One segment for free leads or freebie downloads
• ●One segment for refunded or churned students
• ●One general 'all students' segment for broadcasts

Segments in Flodesk are how every workflow knows who to email. Get the segments right and the rest is easy.

Trigger workflows on course completion

If you are on Teachable Pro or higher, the 'Course Completed' trigger is gold. Use it to fire a Flodesk workflow that says congrats, asks for a testimonial, and pitches the next course. This single automation is usually the highest revenue per email I see in client accounts.

Handle refunds and churn

Build a second Zap. Trigger on 'New Cancellation' or 'New Refund' in Teachable. Action: remove the subscriber from the paid course segment and add them to your churn segment.

This protects your sender reputation. Refunded students who keep getting paid-customer emails are the ones who hit 'mark as spam'.
