Now that you know the basics, let’s explore Gnowbe's Advanced Curation Tools. These features will help you personalize the learner journey, automate nudges, and expand your design capabilities!
⚡ Pop-Ups & Triggers
These features happen instantly in the flow of learning. The moment a learner completes a specific action, you can trigger these automatic responses:
-
In-App Messages: Embed a surprise pop-up transition text directly between Actions. They are incredibly versatile—use them to bridge learning points, reinforce a key idea, or cheer your learners on!

Automated Emails: Trigger an instant email to the learner's inbox the moment they complete a specific Action. This is perfect for delivering extra resources, summaries, or bonus content.
-
Star Ratings: Survey learners without breaking their momentum! Embed a star rating that triggers the moment they complete an Action to get instant feedback on a specific activity or their overall experience.

🔔 Behavior Nudges
Keeping learners engaged doesn't mean you have to chase them down manually. Let the platform do the heavy lifting for you!
-
Daily Messaging: Embed push or email notifications at the Session level to automatically nudge learners. It is a great way to tease exciting new topics, spark their curiosity, and encourage them to jump right back in!

🧠 Personalization
The best learning experiences feel tailored directly to the individual. This tool makes your program feel incredibly responsive:
-
Copy-User-Answer: This is a creator favorite! You can seamlessly recall a user's typed answer from a previous question and display it back to them later in the program. It is a fantastic way to help learners reflect on their past thoughts, goals, or commitments.
⏳ Pacing the Learner Journey
Sometimes you want learners to binge your content, and sometimes you want them to take it slow. You have total control over their pacing:
-
Learning Modes: You can customize the overarching learning journey using three distinct modes.
- Unlocked: Learners can go at their own pace and access every Session immediately.
- Daily: Content is dripped out day by day to build a steady learning habit.
-
Streak: Learners must complete Sessions sequentially to unlock the next one.

-
Lock & Unlock Sessions: Need more granular control? You can manually lock sessions, then either unlock them manually as needed, or set an automatic unlock date—perfect for cohort-based learning!
-
Uncover Actions Sequentially: Guide learners through your sessions step-by-step. This feature requires them to complete actions in order, ensuring a structured and focused learning experience.
