EDUCATION

Spin up courses, enroll your customers, and use ParsaLink’s existing contact and tagging system to keep learning data alongside your sales data.

When the Education Module Makes Sense

The Education module is built into ParsaLink for teams that sell or run training as part of their business:
  • B2B trainers / consultants running structured onboarding programs for their customers
  • Agencies delivering a course as part of an engagement (with the customer as a contact and the course as the deliverable)
  • Service businesses with certification or compliance training tied to specific accounts
If you’re running a standalone LMS for a general consumer audience, a dedicated LMS is probably a better fit. The strength of the Education module here is the link back to the CRM — every student is a Contact, every enrollment is on the timeline, and your sales motion knows who’s in what course.

What’s in the Module

Courses

A Course has a name, description, instructor (a team member), and a set of Course Documents (PDFs, slides, videos, anything you upload). Each course is its own entity at /api/education/courses/.

Enrollments

Enroll any Contact in any Course. Enrollments carry start date, progress, completion date, and a free-text status field for your own conventions (“in progress” / “completed” / “dropped”). One row per (contact, course).

Course Instructors

Team members who own a course. Useful for filtering (“show me everyone Jane is teaching this quarter”) and for the enrollment confirmation emails — the instructor’s name + signature lands automatically.

Course Documents

Files attached to a course. Uploaded files are served from ParsaLink’s storage; students access them through the portal page or via signed URLs.

Enrolling Someone

1

Open the contact

From CRM → Contacts, open the person you want to enroll.
2

Enroll in a course

Click Actions → Enroll in Course and pick from your course list.
3

Confirm welcome email

Toggle whether ParsaLink should send the enrollment welcome email (using the course instructor’s signature) immediately or hold it for you to send manually.
4

Done

The enrollment shows up on the contact’s timeline. Updates flow back to the contact too — when they complete the course, a Completed entry lands on their record.

Pairing with Automations

Common patterns:
  • tag_added → enroll — when a contact is tagged new-customer, automatically enroll them in your onboarding course.
  • Enrollment complete → opportunity — when a contact finishes a free intro course, create an opportunity to upsell to the paid course.
  • Scheduled → reminder email — daily cron that finds enrollments with no progress in 7 days and emails the student a nudge.
These are wired via the standard Automations system — Education emits the same kind of events the CRM does.
