Ask for testimonials inside your course

Put your form in a lesson on Kajabi, Thinkific or Teachable, ask students automatically at the right moment, and show their testimonials on your sales page.

Students have their wins in the middle of a course, and many never reach the last lesson. So ask where they are: put your form in a lesson, and ask by email when your course platform says they've made progress. Forms are on every plan; the automatic emails are Smart Invites, on Premium and Business.

Open your form, check that it's Active, and click Share. On the Link tab, copy the Form URL. To show the form inside a lesson instead, open the Inline tab and click Copy next to Embed Code. See Share or embed your form.

Add it to a lesson

Pick a lesson around the middle of the course, where students have had a first win, and the last lesson.

  • Kajabi: in the lesson's body, open the source code editor (<>) and paste the inline code, or add the link to the lesson's text.
  • Thinkific: add a Multimedia lesson, choose externally hosted content and paste the Form URL: Thinkific shows the page in a frame. Or put the link in a Text lesson, or in the course completion email.
  • Teachable: in the lecture, click Add Content, choose Custom Code and paste the inline code, or put the link in a text block.

Each platform names these in its own help: Kajabi, Thinkific, Teachable.

Ask automatically when they make progress

With Smart Invites, your course platform's webhook starts the emails: the ask, then two reminders, stopped once the student answers.

  • Teachable and Thinkific can ask when a student finishes a course, when they're halfway through, or some days after they buy.
  • Kajabi sends no event when a course is finished, so it asks some days after a purchase.

Follow Teachable, Thinkific or Kajabi. For a list of past students, see Invite customers from a file.

Video answers in a lesson

A form in a lesson is shown in a frame, and the inline code lets that frame use the camera and microphone. A course platform's editor may still take that permission off, or build the frame itself, as Thinkific's Multimedia lesson does. If students can't record there, they can still upload a video while the question's Allow Upload switch is on (it is by default), or write their answer. Or give them the Form URL, which opens the form in its own tab. See Customers can't record a video.

Show the testimonials on your sales page

  • Kajabi runs a widget's code in a page's Custom Code block. Paste the code from the widget's Get code dialog there; see Embed a widget on Kajabi.
  • Teachable and Thinkific don't say in their own help whether their page blocks run a widget's code. Teachable's Custom HTML block is off for new schools until Teachable's support turns it on. Where a page can't run the code, add a button that links to your Wall of Love; see Create and publish a Wall of Love.

What happens next

Each answer arrives in your inbox as Pending, with its form answers beside it, until you approve it. See Approve, reject and archive testimonials.
