Automated Coursera Stalled Learner Nudges
Every Monday, WebRun opens Coursera, checks each employee's course progress and completion under your team's plan, logs it to Airtable, and drafts a Gmail nudge for anyone stalled 2 or more weeks that you review and send.
How do I follow up with employees who stall out on Coursera?
WebRun checks each employee's Coursera progress every Monday, logs completion status to Airtable, and drafts a Gmail nudge for anyone with no activity in 2 or more weeks, naming the course and how close they are to finishing, so a stalled enrollment gets a human nudge before it quietly expires.
- Stalled learners get a nudge within a week of going quiet
- Course progress is logged automatically, no manual dashboard checks
- Nobody gets an email until a human reviews and sends it
Built for L&D managers · corporate training teams · HR upskilling programs · people operations

Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it email employees without me?
No. Every nudge is drafted in Gmail and left unsent. WebRun never emails an employee on its own, you review and send each draft.
How stalled does a learner need to be to get flagged?
No course activity for 2 or more weeks. Anyone still making progress stays off the nudge list entirely.
Does it track courses outside a team plan?
It reads whatever learner dashboard you connect it to, so it works the same on an individual account or a Coursera for Business plan.
