Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Build conditional LearnDash workflows without repeating routine enrollment and email tasks. Smart Rules for LearnDash connects a learner event to an audience, a set of conditions and ordered actions you control.

For example, when a learner completes a selected quiz and meets your score condition, enroll them in a follow-on course and send a useful email. Start with a draft, test with a controlled learner and inspect the execution log before enabling a live workflow.

Included in the free plugin

  • React to course, lesson, topic and quiz completion, and course-access changes.
  • Enroll a learner in a course, remove course enrollment or email the learner.
  • Check roles, users, groups, course access, completion, progress, quiz scores, pass status, metadata and dates.
  • Narrow the audience with searchable selections for users, courses, groups, lessons, topics and quizzes.
  • Combine conditions, order actions and assign rule priorities.
  • Search and filter rules; enable or pause workflows; review execution logs.
  • Configure log retention and choose whether uninstalling removes stored data.
  • Extend documented catalogs and lifecycle hooks as a developer.

All bundled features work without a WooCrafters license. LearnDash LMS is required and is a separate commercial product.

External services

The free rules engine makes no automatic license requests without a saved key.

License status, expiry, limited entitlement metadata, and the key are stored in a non-autoloaded WordPress option. The key is not rendered into the admin page. com/).

Activation is optional and is initiated by an administrator; no license is needed for free automations.

Pro add-on webhook actions (not included in this package): only after an administrator creates and activates a webhook rule, a matching event sends the learner ID, event name, and limited course/quiz/group/lesson/topic context to the public HTTPS URL selected by that administrator. Redirects and private/local network URLs are rejected. Administrators are responsible for choosing an authorized endpoint and informing learners.

No third-party webhook service is bundled.

Email actions use WordPress wp_mail and the site’s configured mail transport. They send the configured subject and message to the matching learner. Logs can contain learner IDs and action results.

Logs are removed automatically after the configured retention period (default 30 days).
