Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring LearnDash, iLovePDF, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the LearnDash and iLovePDF integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between LearnDash and iLovePDF (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect LearnDash and iLovePDF
LearnDash + iLovePDF + Google Drive: Upon course completion in LearnDash, a certificate is generated (simulated by a pre-existing file), optimized using iLovePDF to compress it, and then saved to a designated folder in Google Drive.
iLovePDF + LearnDash + Slack: When a new PDF is optimized using iLovePDF, this automation checks if it is a course PDF. If it is, a message is sent to the instructors' Slack channel. This is a simulation, because there's no trigger for 'PDF optimized' in iLovePDF. Instead, a new file in iLovePDF is treated as optimized.
