Customise learner emails

Customise the emails learners receive when they sign up, get enrolled or log in.

Linqur sends learners emails automatically, for example with their login link. You can keep those emails as they are or adapt them to your own tone and branding. Every email has an English and a Dutch version. You find them on the Settings tab under Learner emails.

4. Use placeholders

Placeholders are replaced with the real details when the email is sent. Click a button under Available placeholders to insert it, or use the Placeholder menu in the editor. The available placeholders differ per email.

PlaceholderReplaced with
[[firstname]], [[lastname]], [[fullname]]The learner’s name

[[companyname]]Your organisation’s name
[[platformurl]]Your platform address
