Course creators, school admins and corporate trainers often report on learners from a spreadsheet. FlowMattic writes LearnDash progress into Google Sheets as it happens on your WordPress site: lessons, quiz results, essays and finished courses. It also works the other way, enrolling or removing learners when a row in your sheet changes.

Each one uses only triggers and actions the two integrations ship today, plus FlowMattic's own tools. Where the library has a ready-made template, import it instead of building from scratch.
Ready-made templateInstructors see who is moving through the course without logging into WordPress. Each row holds the learner, the course, the lesson and the date.

View the template Every quiz attempt becomes a row with the score and pass or fail result. A Router writes each quiz to its own tab so teachers can sort and chart one assessment at a time.

Training providers who report completions to an accrediting body need dates in one format. Date/Time Formatter sets the format before the row is written.

HR adds new starters to an onboarding sheet. Each new row enrols that person into the induction course, so trainers never repeat the list inside WordPress.

When someone leaves the company or a cohort ends, changing the Status column to Left removes their access. A Filter makes sure only that value triggers the removal.

Each essay lands in a marking sheet with the learner, the question and the time. Markers share out the work by adding their name in a column.

You end up with a sheet that gains one row every time a learner completes a lesson.
Create a spreadsheet with a header row such as Learner, Email, Course, Lesson and Completed on.
Under Connects, add a Google Sheets connection with an account that can edit that spreadsheet.
Create a workflow with the LearnDash Lesson Completed trigger, then complete a lesson as a test learner so FlowMattic captures the data.
Add a Google Sheets step with Add New Row, pick the spreadsheet and tab, map each column, test the step and switch the workflow on.

A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.
LearnDash and Google Sheets connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.
Names, emails and scores move from your WordPress site to the sheet you choose, without passing through another automation company's account.
Runs are unlimited, so a course with hundreds of learners and dozens of lessons each costs the same as a small pilot group.
Managers and clients get progress in a sheet they can filter, chart and share, while only admins need access to wp-admin.
Yes. In FlowMattic you pick a LearnDash trigger such as Lesson Completed or Quiz Completed, then add a Google Sheets Add New Row step and map the fields to your columns. Everything is set up on the workflow builder in wp-admin.
Yes. Search the email column with Lookup Row Data first, then use Update Row to change that learner's progress columns. A Router can add a new row when the learner is not in the sheet yet.
Yes. Start from New Spreadsheet Row and add Enroll Into Course, or Add to Group for group access. The person needs a WordPress account already, so include their user ID or email in the row.
Course Completed, Enrolled Into a Course, Added Into a Group, Essay Submitted, Group Completed, Lesson Completed, Quiz Completed and Topic Completed. Each can write to a different sheet or tab.
The triggers only fire for new events, so earlier progress is not sent. Export the historical data from LearnDash once and import it into the sheet, then let the workflow add rows from that point on.
