How Certifier integrates with Thinkific
Certifier connects to Thinkific natively or through Zapier. When a selected Thinkific event happens, such as a learner completing a course or lesson, the integration passes the learner data to Certifier. Certifier then creates, issues, and sends the certificate, badge, or digital credential from the Credential Template you choose.
Keep eligibility rules in Thinkific to decide who receives a certificate and when. Use Certifier for the parts that happen after a learner qualifies: credential design, personalization, delivery, verification, tracking, corrections, and resends.
