Being able to easily migrate your students into Learn means you can hit the ground running, whether you’re migrating from another platform and importing students via CSV or adding customers directly from your autoresponder.
This flexibility saves time, preserves your existing audience, and ensures every student gets instant access to your courses without disruption. Seamless student import keeps your business running smoothly and your learners engaged from day one.
You’ll need a Learn+ account to migrate students to Learn using the import feature
To get started, simply head over to your My students tab in Learn.
Then at the bottom of this page, you’ll have the option to import students.
Clicking the button, you’ll be presented with a popup of a list of your courses, where you can then select which course(s) the imported students will have access to.
You’ll then choose if you’re going to import students via CSV or use autoresponder course enrollment.
Importing via CSV
When importing from a CSV, the CSV needs to have 2 columns with the specific headers name and email. If there are columns with different names, they will be ignored.
Importing via Autoresponder
If you already have an autoresponder connected to your account, (see how to connect an autoresponder here), you’ll be able to choose the Autoresponder option to import students.
You’ll be able to choose an existing list to import:
You’ll want to make sure that your list is fully optimized within your autoresponder first, as this functionality will import all contacts from that list and cannot be filtered by tag.
Finally, after selecting the the CSV (or autoresponder list) the system will look to import the students into your dashboard.
Importing students can take some time.
When importing students, they will be added to a queue. Depending on the volume of students you’re importing, this queue can take some time to process. You don’t need to remain on this screen and can continue in your account as normal.
Student email notification
When importing a student, they’ll be sent an email from the platform confirming their access to your course(s) you’ve imported them into. This email will include the author name alongside the course name so there is no confusion for your students.
The email address these notifications come from is accounts@thrivecart.net
The ‘From’ name will appear as your author name.
When the student clicks the “Click here to log in” link, they’ll be taken to a registration page where new students can complete their account setup, which includes setting a password. Existing Learn students will be taken to the login page to log in with their existing email/password.
Your students will be logging in at your dedicated course/student area. This is where the link in their email takes them to. You can find course login URLs from your course list by hovering over the […] menu icon on your courses.
Students do not login at thrivecart.com to access your course content.
