Most powerful ways to connect LearnDash and Google Ads
Google Ads + LearnDash + Google Sheets: When a new user enrolls in a course after clicking on a Google Ad, the automation retrieves campaign details from Google Ads. It then logs the ad spend and course enrollment in Google Sheets to track campaign ROI.
Google Ads + LearnDash + Slack: When a new user enrolls in a course, the automation checks if the enrollment resulted from a Google Ads campaign. If so, it notifies the marketing team in Slack with details of the successful enrollment, allowing for immediate recognition of successful campaigns.
