New enrollment → onboarding in 60 seconds

When a student completes enrollment in Teachable, your agent kicks off the entire onboarding sequence without a single manual step — the enrollment email confirmation goes out via Gmail, the student's profile is fetched from Teachable to personalise the welcome, they're enrolled in the free bonus starter module, a kickoff calendar invite is dropped into Google Calendar, and the CS team gets a Slack notification with the student's name and course tier before the confirmation page has fully loaded.

Connect

How to plug Teachable into Actionist

Pick the connection method that suits your environment.

The fastest path — Actionist connects to Teachable via the MCP server with a permissioned OAuth handshake. No API tokens to rotate, no scope spreadsheets to maintain; your agent gets read and write access to courses, students, enrollments, and transactions through a single authorisation flow.

Open the Apps tab

Find Teachable in the Apps library and click Connect. MCP is selected by default.

Authorise in Teachable

You'll be redirected to Teachable's OAuth consent screen. Sign in with your school owner account and grant Actionist the requested permissions (read students, manage enrollments, read transactions).

Test the connection

Actionist runs a read-only call to verify the handshake. You're ready.

FAQs

Questions about Teachable + Actionist

Which Teachable plan do I need to use the API?

Teachable's REST API is available on the Business and Professional plans. If you're on the Basic plan, you can still use the MCP connection method via OAuth, but direct API token access requires an upgrade. Check your school's current plan at teachable.com → Settings → Billing before connecting.

What permissions does Actionist need when I authorise via OAuth?

Actionist requests read access to students, courses, and transactions, plus write access for enrollment management and coupon issuance. It does not request access to your Teachable billing or school-owner financial settings. You can review the exact scopes on the OAuth consent screen before approving.

Can the agent enroll a student who doesn't have a Teachable account yet?

Yes — use the Create New User action first to provision the account, then immediately follow it with Enroll User in Course. Both actions can be chained in a single workflow step sequence. The Create New User action returns the new user ID, which Enroll User in Course accepts directly.

How do I avoid accidentally re-enrolling a student who is already enrolled?

Use the Find Student action before any enrollment write to check whether the student exists, then List Enrollments filtered by course ID to confirm their current status. If an active enrollment exists, skip the write step. This two-step guard prevents duplicate enrollment records and the support tickets that follow.

Will the agent trigger Teachable's own email notifications when it creates users or enrollments?

Yes — Teachable sends its standard transactional emails (welcome, enrollment confirmation) whenever a user is created or enrolled, regardless of whether the action came from a human or an agent. If you're running your own onboarding email sequence via Actionist, disable Teachable's built-in welcome emails in Settings → Emails to avoid students receiving duplicate messages.

How many API calls can the agent make before hitting Teachable's rate limit?

Teachable's API is rate-limited to 120 requests per minute per API token. For bulk operations — like enrolling a large cohort or listing all transactions — the agent will automatically page through results and add brief delays between calls to stay under the limit. If you're processing more than 100 students in a single workflow run, consider batching the job across multiple scheduled runs.

Can I use the agent to manage subscriptions and recurring billing inside Teachable?

Teachable's API exposes transaction records and enrollment state but does not provide direct write access to subscription billing cycles. For subscription management (pause, cancel, upgrade), the agent can read the subscription status via List Transactions and trigger actions in your connected billing platform (Stripe), but cannot modify the Teachable subscription object itself.

If I disconnect Teachable from Actionist, what happens to enrolled students?

Disconnecting Actionist does not affect any student data, enrollments, or course access inside Teachable. It only removes Actionist's ability to make future API calls. All enrollments created by the agent remain intact in Teachable. To reconnect, simply re-authorise via the Apps tab — your existing workflows will resume without reconfiguration.
