Automations
LearnHouse pushes real-time events to your own systems and to no-code automation tools. Use these to sync learners into your CRM, notify a Slack channel on course completion, trigger certificate printing, or feed any downstream workflow.
Automations are available on the Pro plan or higher. Both webhooks and Zapier rely on API tokens scoped to a single organization.
What’s available
- Webhooks — Direct, signed HTTP
POSTdeliveries to any URL you control. Best for custom backends and self-hosted services. - Zapier — Official Zapier app with triggers for every LearnHouse event and actions for enrolling users, completing activities, and looking up learners. Best for no-code workflows into Slack, Google Sheets, HubSpot, and 6,000+ other Zapier apps.
- Event Catalogue — The canonical list of every event that can fire, with payload schemas.
How it works
Every automation is powered by the same internal event bus:
- Something happens inside LearnHouse (a learner completes a course, a user is invited, an assignment is graded, …).
- The event is dispatched to every active subscriber for that organization — webhook endpoints you configured manually, and any Zapier REST Hook subscriptions created by your active Zaps.
- Each endpoint receives the same JSON envelope with an event name, a delivery ID, an organization ID, and an event-specific
datapayload.
Signing, retries, delivery logs, and SSRF protection all work identically across both paths. Choosing between webhooks and Zapier is a question of where you want to handle the event, not whether you’ll get a different payload.
Choosing between webhooks and Zapier
| You want to… | Use |
|---|---|
| Call a custom backend you control | Webhooks |
| Route events into Slack, Google Sheets, HubSpot, Airtable, Notion, etc. | Zapier |
| Verify cryptographic signatures on payloads | Webhooks (Zapier handles its own auth internally) |
| Run a LearnHouse action from another app (e.g., enroll a user when a HubSpot form is submitted) | Zapier |
| Keep infrastructure dependencies to a minimum | Webhooks |
You can use both at the same time for the same events.
