This article explains how to set up the workflow for granting a certificate to learners after they complete a Session.
A certificate is issued automatically once a learner has completed the session by attending all required events.
✅ Steps to enable certificates for a session
Create a session in Studio (👉 More information here)
Create a certificate in Studio. (👉 More information here)
In Control, add the session to a Widget to make it visible to learners (👉 More information here)
Create an automation to unlock the certificate once the session is completed (👉 More information here).
Event: Activity is completed
Conditions: Is activity in event with the session activity, combined with the group using AND
Action: Grant certificate
Create a section within a session in the LXP, make sure the “Attendance must be confirmed by the host” setting is enabled. (👉 More information here).
This ensures certificates are only issued once attendance is confirmed.
💡 Note: Without the Is activity in event condition, the certificate is granted every time a group member completes any activity.
🧑🎓 Learner flow
Learners register for a section of the session
The session takes place (one or more events within the section)
The trainer/admin confirms attendance via the section overview
🎓 The certificate will be granted when:
⏰ The final event in the section has ended
✅ Attendance has been confirmed for all events by the trainer/admin
🧩 The automation conditions for unlocking the certificate are met
💡 Note: An event automation fires at every matching completion, so if an activity is reset and completed again, the certificate is granted again. Keep the Is activity in event conditions and the Is completed conditions in separate AND groups, because an OR between them fires at every completion by a user who meets the state condition.
