How to Send a Kajabi Certificate of Completion?

You’ve built your Kajabi course. You’ve mapped the modules, uploaded the videos and set the assessments. But there’s one final step to take—delivering the Kajabi certificate of completion.

Most Kajabi creators try to issue certificates through manual emails, PDF downloads or complicated workarounds. But none of these methods scale, or look great. 

In this article, we will discuss two of the most productive ways to send a Kajabi certificate of completion. One is through Kajabi’s built-in options. The other, more flexible and automated, is through third-part tools like Certifier. 

TL;DR

Kajabi offers a native certificate feature, but it’s limited in design and layout options.

Create branded certificates with Certifier and automate delivery through Certifier Zapier integration. As a result, issue certificates based on events such as Kajabi assessments or course completion.

Every certificate comes with a digital wallet for easy sharing, tracking and long-term access by your Kajabi students.

Build high-quality Kajabi certificates in under 10 minutes

The standard template from the Kajabi editor looks plain and leaves almost no room for customization. Fonts, colors and layouts stay fixed, so the result feels generic—hardly the finish you want for a premium learning experience.

The Certifier version tells a different story. You pick a template, drop in your colors and logo and send a credential that looks and feels like a natural extension of your brand. Better yet, the process takes minutes.

Why Certifier stands out:

White-label credentialing—choose from a broad gallery and match branding.

Automated email delivery—send certificates right after a learner passes an assessment or completes a course.

One-click share to LinkedIn—every certificate sits in a digital wallet, ready for public proof of achievement.

Renewal reminders—set expiry dates and trigger alerts so learners can keep credentials current.

To get a better understanding of both methods, let's first take a look at them at a glance.

Issue certificates of completion using Kajabi native tools

Kajabi makes it possible to send certificates of completion through a built-in certificate feature. You can turn it on in your Kajabi course creation settings. To do this, follow these steps.

Step 1: Open the Products tab

Head to the Products tab in your Kajabi dashboard. Pick the course you want to issue a certificate for. This works for all Kajabi courses, including mini-courses, coaching and full programs.

Step 2: Access the Certificates tab

Once inside your course product, you’ll see tabs like Outline, Customize, Offers, Customers, Certificates and Settings. Click Certificates.

Flip the switch that says “Provide certificates for this course.” This allows Kajabi to track when a student completes 100% of the course—and automatically send the certificate upon completion.

Step 3: Customize the certificate

Kajabi gives you a few fields to adjust:

Title: “Certificate of Completion” or a custom phrase

Subtitle: Add a line like “For successfully completing this online course”

Recipient line: Kajabi fills in the student’s name automatically

Course title: Kajabi automatically pulls the information for this field from your existing product title

Optionally, you can add the course completion date, certificate serial number or set an expiration date (if your course requires renewal). All these are available as toggles in the certificate customization tab.

Step 4: Upload a logo (optional)

If you’re looking to turn your course certificate into a branded experience for learners, Kajabi lets you upload a custom logo. The recommended size is 640x640 px. 

Once you upload the logo, click Save. It preserves all the settings you made with Kajabi advanced automations. At this point, you can also use the Preview option to see how your Kajabi certificate of completion comes together—and tweak its elements if needed.

Step 5: Customize the email notification 

Kajabi will send an automated email to the student when they finish the course. To edit the email template for sending a certificate of completion, select Email Templates in the Certificates tab.

You can:

Use a pre-filled email template for sending a certificate of completion

Customize the subject line and body text

Use liquid tags like {{member.full_name}} or {{product.title}} to personalize the message

Click Preview or send a test email before saving

Step 6: Save and preview

Select Save. Then click on the eye icon to preview the final look of your certificate.

Better solution: Use third-party tools to send Kajabi certification

If Kajabi's native design doesn’t align with your brand and you need more customizable options, Certifier, an all-in-one management platform, provides you with more control.

Why use a third-part tool?

You choose from thousands of certificate designs (at Certifier, you can choose among certificates and badges)

You automate delivery based on triggers (not just 100% course progress)

You get full control over the certificate's layout and branding

It supports more advanced Kajabi course creation workflows

Here’s a step-by-step instruction on how to automate Kajabi certificate of completion delivery. 

Step 1: Create a group and choose a template

Log in to Certifier or sign up for a free account. Go to the Group tab and click + Create Group.

Give your group a name that matches your Kajabi course creation structure—or reuse an existing group if applicable. Then click + Create Certificate Design.

Choose a template from Certifier’s library of over 2,000 designs. Select one with clear space for:

Student name

Kajabi course title

Completion date

Issuer name or logo

Step 2: Customize the certificate content and design

Start editing the template to match your brand and Kajabi certification goals. Add your:

Organization name

Logo

Course type

Remove anything unnecessary. If your course includes Kajabi assessments, consider including this information on the certificate.

Certifier’s editor lets you fully control how your certificate reads. Use formal phrasing and clear formatting. Edit the text fields as you wish.

Insert signature fields, certificate ID numbers and QR codes. These add validation to your certificates. They are useful when learners share their credentials on LinkedIn or include them in their resumes.

Step 3: Adjust the email template for sending the certificate of completion

Use an email template for sending a certificate of completion. With a branded email, you create a positive, post-event experience. Include a congratulation for completing the Kajabi assessments or course. 

Recipients can access the digital version of their Kajabi certificate of completion via their email inbox. It directs them to a digital wallet. It’s a secure place where they can store, share and verify their certificates.

Every shared certificate bears your name, logo and brand. It's a brilliant marketing opportunity for your Kajabi courses.

Step 4: Connect Kajabi to Certifier with Zapier

Once your certificate design is ready in Certifier, it’s time to automate the delivery. The easiest way to do that is to use Zapier to connect Kajabi with Certifier.

Below, we will explain in detail how to set up the integration. You can be sure certificates are issued when a student completes a course or finishes a Kajabi assessment.
