Drip course content over time
Pace your curriculum — unlock each module a set time after a member joins, so everyone gets the same journey regardless of when they start.
- Days/weeks/months delay
- From each member’s start
- Fair for late joiners
Dripping paces a course so learners can’t binge ahead and late joiners get the same experience. Add a Schedule to a content rule: each module unlocks a delay (days/weeks/months) after the member’s subscription start. This recipe drips weekly modules.
- Modules unlock on a schedule, not all at once.
- Timed from each member’s own start date.
- Late joiners get the same paced journey.
- No code — just a delay on each content rule.
