7. Use Available Placeholders

The following placeholders can be used in the email subject or email template:

8. Save the Reminder Settings

• If changes are required, update the template and click Save settings again.

10. Monitor Reminder Delivery

• Ensure users are enrolled in the relevant course.
• Ensure the course has completion tracking enabled.
• Users who have not completed the course after the configured number of days will receive the reminder email.
• Once the course is marked as completed, the reminder should no longer be sent to that user.

Important Notes

The reminder email will only work properly if email / SMTP sending is configured in LMS.

Course completion tracking should be enabled so the system can identify whether the user has completed the course or not.

The scheduled task or cron must be running for automatic reminders to be sent based on the configured frequency.
