What can you do with automations?

Some simple ideas that could be implemented with a custom onCourse automation:

Run a daily transaction export at 2am for the prior 24 hours and email it to your Accounts Manager
Automatically send an email to a student on their birthday containing a $10 gift voucher
Notify tutors their class is confirmed running when the class minimum enrolment number has been reached
Notify coordinators one week before a class is due to commence if the class is under the minimum
Automatically notify all students on a course waiting list when you publish a new instance of class to the web
Send a monthly notification to debtors or creditors of their onCourse balance outstanding
Send your Enrolment Manager a daily email of students who failed to complete the online enrolment process so they can manually follow them up
Send the CEO weekly summary of enrolments, income and trending programs
Schedule a series of daily reports to print rooms labels, class rolls and sign in sheets every business day morning, and for all weekend classes on a Friday morning
Print and send reports to site coordinators for all sessions running at their venue the following week
Email students at the conclusion of their course suggesting other courses they might be interested in, with a time limited discount offer
Email VET students' employers three months after the conclusion of their course requesting they complete the Employer Satisfaction Survey
Integrate with an LMS such as Moodle or Canvas where you push student enrolments in real time as enrolments are created. You can use onCourse tags to control which courses are handled in this manner.
Integrate with MailChimp or other mailing list manager to synchronise mailing list contacts in both directions
Verify that course administrators are writing at least 100 words of course description before putting the course onto your website
Send an email to your administrator if a course administrator schedules a course for a public holiday
Automate integration with your accounting system
Email students the day before their class starts
SMS to tutors one hour before the should be teaching
Automate compliance exports such as VET FEE HELP or AVETMISS
Update course content on your website with data from some other source
Automate of creating Facebook or Twitter comments from "what’s hot today" or new courses being published
Push course enrolment events to Google analytics so that you can see office enrolments alongside web enrolments in your statistical reports
