How Certifier integrates with PETE LMS
Certifier connects with PETE LMS (formerly Pluto LMS) through no-code tools like Zapier. After linking both accounts, you choose which PETE events should start the credential workflow.
The connector passes the relevant learner and course data to Certifier, which fills in and issues a certificate, badge, or credential automatically.
Like PETE, Certifier supports custom designs, scheduled expiry, secure verification, and live updates. But a Certifier template can combine several designs in one credential package, letting you generate additional transcripts or completion records without cluttering the main certificate.
PETE LMS and Certifier workflows
Available workflows (2)
New user in qualifying PETE segment > Issue with Certifier

Setup steps
- 1
Create a new Zap and select Pluto LMS (PETE LMS’s legacy name) as the trigger app.
- 2
Choose a trigger action to kickstart certificates — e.g., “New User in Segment” for qualified learners, or “New User Created” for onboarding or welcome credentials.
- 3
Connect your account and, for segment-based issuing, select the user segment under “Cohort ID.”
- 4
Add a search step if the credential needs course completion, grades, or activity-level training data.
- 5
Add Certifier as the action app and choose “Issue Credential” for the action event.
- 6
Select your multi-design Credential Template and map learner and available course fields.
- 7
Test with sample data to confirm each personalized design fills correctly, then publish.
Key benefits

One template can combine certificates, badges, and transcripts into a multi-page package, customized with your logos and designs.
Self-service experience
Learners download and request corrections from their credential page, while third parties check validity via UUID or QR codes.
Flexible management
Built-in expiry and automated reminders streamline renewals, and admins can correct, update, or delete live credentials anytime.
Is this integration right for you?
HR departments
Generate credentials for workplace milestones, offer multilingual versions for international teams, and make corrections without reissuing.
Training managers
Set flexible expiry rules and renewal reminders for recurring compliance training, then track whether recipients receive or open their emails.
L&D teams
Separate courses and certification levels into dedicated templates, then use Pathways to connect them into structured programs.
Frequently asked questions
Certifier offers many of the same core features, including custom certificates and badges, automated delivery, and expiry settings, but it doesn’t have to replace PETE LMS for basic course completions.
You can keep native certificates where they already fit, and use Certifier for additional milestones such as onboarding or for multi-page credentials with personalized transcripts, training records, or translated versions.
The integration cost scales based on credential volume and workflow complexity. Zapier Free includes up to 100 tasks per month, but higher limits and multi-step workflows — like adding a lookup step — require a paid plan.
Certifier Starter is free for 250 credentials yearly and includes design, issuance, and verification. For advanced branding, analytics, or expiry, you’ll need a paid plan.
The number of designs per Certifier Credential Template depends on your plan. Starter supports up to 2 distinct designs per template, while Professional and Advanced allow up to 10.
You can freely combine certificates and badges to build multi-document workflows, such as issuing a certificate alongside a matching social media badge.
No. You configure each page as a separate design, so you can set its dimensions and format independently.
Certificate designs support A4 or US Letter in portrait or landscape orientation, and one Credential Template can even combine certificates with 1:1 badge designs. Attach the finished designs to the same template to issue them together.
Yes, the integration meets strict global security standards. When learner data moves from PETE LMS through Zapier, it’s encrypted in transit with TLS 1.2+ and at rest with AES-256.
Once the data reaches Certifier, it remains encrypted and is handled under ISO 27001 and GDPR requirements, protecting learner information throughout the workflow.
