What are Sign-up URLs?
Sign-up URLs are a manageable access and registration layer for learning content inside Linqur. Instead of a traditional password process, you use a temporary link flow: learners sign up via a registration screen and, depending on the flow you configure, either get instant access or first receive a personal Sign-up URL by email.
Per course you create multiple links, each with its own conditions: validity, maximum number of registrations, allowed email domains and status. That makes Sign-up URLs fit both open campaigns and client- or cohort-specific access, without the client needing their own LMS.

Built for organisations that distribute courses without a client LMS
If you want to give end users fast, friction-free access to learning content while keeping control over registration and reporting, Sign-up URLs offer the right balance between ease of use and control.
Content providers without a client LMS
You want to deliver courses to clients who do not have their own LMS, without setting up a full learning platform. Sign-up URLs give their learners direct access, while registration and progress stay in Linqur.
Webshop and campaign flows
Through the WooCommerce integration and API you register learners automatically after purchase and send them a personal Sign-up URL straight away. No manual enrolment, no second account to remember.
Own portals and login workflows
Use Sign-up URLs as a practical SSO step inside your own portal or billing flow. End users log in via your environment and move effortlessly into the course.
Pilots, events and cohort access
Give a specific group temporary access, for example for a pilot or an event, with a hard end date, a maximum number of registrations and a domain restriction per link.
Problems you no longer have with Sign-up URLs
Access to learning content often breaks at passwords, expired licences and manual reporting. This is how Sign-up URLs remove those barriers, organised around distributing, managing and reporting.
No more handing out passwords
Learners receive a personal Sign-up URL by email or click through from your own portal. No login form, no forgotten passwords, no support tickets.
No more typing in details
On the sign-up page a learner can also sign in with a Google or Microsoft account. One click, and the registration is done with the account they already use at work.
No more manual registrations after a sale
Through the WooCommerce integration or the Linqur API you register learners automatically and send them a Sign-up URL straight away. Purchase and access run in a single flow.
No more open access after the deadline
Per link you set a start and end date, plus a maximum number of registrations. As soon as the period or limit is exceeded, the link stops working and shows a clear message to the user.
No more unwanted registrations
Restrict registration to specific email domains per link. That way you know the right audience or client gets access, even if the link is shared.
No more separate exports per client
All registrations, progress, completion and scores live centrally in Linqur. Filter by link, user, course or period and export to Excel or PDF for client reporting.
No more blind spots on usage
See per Sign-up URL who registered, how far they got and when they were last active. The Custom Search Builder and column visibility let you tailor reports to the audience.
How Medela gets healthcare professionals into accredited e-learning
Nurses, midwives and maternity care workers sign up for Medela's e-learning with their professional registration number and go straight into the course. Medela exports what it needs for accreditation in about half an hour, and nine hospitals run the same e-learning from their own LMS through LTI.

Get started with Sign-up URLs in 5 steps
Connect a Sign-up URL to a course
Create a Sign-up URL in Linqur per course. Give the link an internal label, a validity period, a maximum number of registrations and optionally a domain restriction.
Share the link or connect it to a workflow
Share the general link with your audience, connect it to your WooCommerce flow or use the Linqur API to send personal Sign-up URLs from your own system.
Learners sign up
Existing users are signed in immediately. New users register via the sign-up screen and, depending on the flow you configured, either get instant access or first receive a personal Sign-up URL by email.
The learner starts the course without a password
The learner clicks the link and lands directly in the course. No password, no second account. Existing access is preserved, even after the link expires.
Track results and adjust
See per Sign-up URL who completed, which scores were achieved and what the latest activity was. Disable a link to stop new access, without affecting existing learners.
