Search Course Action

OVERVIEW

The "Search Course" action searches for an existing course in your Pluto LMS based on information provided in the trigger. This action typically serves as the first action in a workflow as Zapier can now use the course information to perform a second action, e.g. enrolling users into that course, etc.

SETTING UP A "SEARCH COURSE" ACTION

Step 1: Set up your trigger, e.g. "New Row in Microsoft Excel."

Note: The trigger may need to provide the course name of the existing course/s for  which your zap must search in your Pluto LMS.

Step 2: Select (1) Pluto LMS as your action app and (2) "Search Course" as your action event, then (3) choose your connected Pluto LMS account from the drop-down list. 

See the Pluto LMS support document on setting up actions for more help.

Step 3: To set up your action, (1) enter the course name of the course that your zap must search for in your Pluto LMS and (2) decide whether or not to skip the subsequent actions of your zap if no matching course is found in your Pluto LMS. 

Note: For a more dynamic zap (that can search for one of a variety of existing courses) you can select the corresponding field from your trigger data source that will provide the course name of the existing course/s for which your zap must search in your Pluto LMS.

You can now click on "Continue", proceed to test your action and define what your zap should do with the searched for courses by adding subsequent action steps for Pluto LMS or other apps.
