Schedule and drip content in Courses

Learn how to schedule or drip your Course content

Updated over a week ago

You can customize when content becomes available in your Courses. This can be a great way to release your course content over time, rather than all at once.

For your modules and submodules, you can use the drip or schedule status to release content.

Note: It's not possible to schedule or drip individual posts or quizzes within a module or submodule. As a workaround, you can create a module or submodule that contains only a single lesson or quiz.


Schedule content

You can use the schedule status to unlock a module or submodule on a specific date.

  1. Go to Products > Courses.

  2. Open your course.

  3. In the course outline, next to your module or submodule, click Schedule in the status dropdown.

  4. Enter the date you want this content to become available in the Publish date field.

  5. Click Schedule.

Notes:

  • If a customer gains access after the scheduled publish dates has passed, then they will have access to the module or submodule.

  • The date format is MM-DD-YYYY. For example, if you want to choose June 3, 2026, then it should say 06-03-2026.


Drip content

You can use the drip status to unlock a module or submodule after a specific number of days.

By default, the drip start date (access start date) for your course is when the customer purchased or was granted the offer containing your course.

You can customize the drip start date on the offer or for a specific customer.

Drip after a specific number of days

  2. Open your course.

  3. In the course outline, next to your module or submodule, click Drip in the status dropdown.

  4. Enter in the number of days you want this content to become available in the Set drip days after enrollment field.

    1. For example, if your customer purchases your offer on Sunday, June 1 and your drip days is set to 7. Your module or submodule will be unlocked on Sunday, June 8.

  5. Click Done.
