Welcome to the "Experience Engine"!
Inside "Step 5", you have the power to take your student engagement to a whole new, interplanetary level - your own private course concierge who works tirelessly behind the scenes 24 hours, actively looking for ways to create an amazing experience for your students.
Until now, membership site platforms were just places to put your course content.
You had no idea how much (or how little) your students were interacting with it. How often (or how infrequently) they were logging in, or how much (or how little) action they were taking.
And obviously you had no way to communicate with them based on that information -- which meant you had no way to reach out in any personalized way to students. Either to encourage the lagging students to re-engage, or to encourage the active folks to "keep it up".
And worse, you've been completely in the dark about how effective your course is at helping people get the outcome you've promised them.
Most course creators have a vague sense of student completion and happiness, based on feedback received, refund requests, and other such lagging, incomplete indicators, which are too late and too fuzzy to really take action on.
That ends today.
Welcome to the Experience Engine.
Unique to Xperiencify, think of the Experience Engine like your own private course concierge who works tirelessly behind the scenes 24 hours, actively looking for ways to create an amazing experience for your students... so they engage more deeply with your content, start to love taking action, and who'd never think of abandoning your course.
What kinds of Experiences are possible to create?
Every course comes with one default Experience -- the "Student Welcome" Experience, which sends an email to any new students who join your course.
Some of the most common kind of Experiences we make it possible to create are:
The "Student Rescue" Experience -- if your student hasn't logged in in over X days or weeks, we can automatically send them an email, SMS & Voicemail follow-up campaign to get them back on track
The "XPs Earned" Experience -- if your student just earned a certain amount of XPs or XXPs -- automatically show a Celebration, a congrats email or SMS message, or even release extra content or a bonus (coming soon)
If your student completes a specific module or training, send them an email or an SMS
If your student completes the entire course, show a full screen celebration animation or automatically post a message on your Forum.
If a student achieves one of the course goals you set for them, send congratulate & encouragement messages to keep them going, and achieve even more
NOTE: Experiences are kicked off by triggers. We have a lot to choose from, allowing you to experiencify virtually any aspect of your course and student experience.

How to Save an Experience to Your Library
Once you've created an Experience, you may want to save it and re-use it. We've added an option for you to easily save it to your Library
After you've created an Experience, click the dropdown menu
...and selectSave to Library
You can now re-use your Experience in any course, by selecting it from your Library
The sky's the limit for what you can do to keep students engaged and excited so they can't wait to keep going with your course!
How to Create Different Pathways for your Students Within an Experience
You can now create completely customized paths for your students!
For example, maybe you tag students as "VIPs" and "Non-VIPs" as they join your course or program. You can then use those tags to create separate & unique pathways inside any given Experience to tailor the experience to different segments of students. This is just one example of what you could do based on the tags you give students!
