Once you’re signed in, it means your Sertifier and Thinkific accounts are now connected. Now the only step left is to create a credential campaign that is going to be sent once an attendee finishes your course.
Create Your Credential Campaign
*Go to the Integrations tab from the left menu of your Sertifier account.
*Click Create New Integration from the top left corner.
*Select Thinkific from the integrations, and choose the course you created on Thinkific.
*Proceed with creating the credential details, credential design, and email template.
Credential Detail
The detail page is where you input the information for your digital credentials.
Within the credential campaign flow, click on "Select Detail", and then proceed by clicking the Create New Detail button.
To get started, your first step is to select a Credential Type.
Next, provide all the information for your event. Include a detailed description, select the event duration, specify the cost, set an expiry date if needed, and indicate the appropriate level, if applicable.
Credential Expiry
If the credential that you will send to your recipients has an expiry date, specify it while creating the certificate details. Otherwise, select the No Expiry Date option.
When you set an expiry date, both you and your recipients will receive email notifications one month prior to the credential's expiry. If you prefer not to send credential expiry email notifications to your recipients as their credential's expiry date approaches, you can disable this feature from this section.
Enter the criteria for earning your credential. You can also utilize system or custom attributes at this stage.
The last step to finish your credential details is to add Skills. This is where you select the relevant skills related to the field you are teaching. You can either choose skills from the existing talent library or add custom ones.
Credential Design
Within the credential campaign, click either the "Select Badge Design" or "Select Certificate Design" option, or create both of them under the same campaign. Then, select Create New Design to customize your credential design.
