How Certifier integrates with WordPress
Certifier integrates with WordPress through connectors like Zapier. When a selected WordPress event occurs, like a new registration, the connector sends Certifier the relevant recipient data. Certifier adds their information to your chosen certificate, badge, or credential design and emails it automatically.
You design your template once with Certifier’s drag-and-drop editor, then reuse it for every qualifying recipient to save time on issuance and delivery. The same approach works for welcome certificates, membership badges, subscriber credentials, and similar programs.

Frequently asked questions
You may not need a paid plan to get started. Zapier’s free plan includes 100 tasks per month, with each automated action counting toward that limit.
Certifier’s free plan includes 250 credentials per year, plus core design, bulk issuing, and integration features. You can upgrade later if your volume grows or you need more advanced features.
No, Zapier’s “New User” trigger only watches for users created after you publish the Zap.
To cover existing members, prepare a CSV or XLSX file with their names, emails, and other required details, then upload it to Certifier and issue certificates in bulk for the historical batch using the same template.
You can’t filter for specific new users with Zapier’s currently available triggers. By default, every new registration triggers certificate generation.
To control delivery, disable automatic emails in your Zapier workflow by turning off the “Send Credential” option. This saves newly generated certificates to your Certifier dashboard as drafts, allowing you to review user eligibility before issuing.
No, your recipients won’t need a Certifier account. When you issue a credential, Certifier automatically emails the recipient a unique, secure link. From that page, recipients can view, download, verify, or share their certificates and badges without signing up.
Certifier connects with many other tools natively or through automation connectors like Zapier and Make.
You can connect LMS apps like Canvas and LearnDash, e-commerce platforms like WooCommerce, CRMs like HubSpot, and productivity software like Google Sheets, Zoom, or ChatGPT.
