Preferred: Use the Course Wizard’s Integration Guide
STEP 1: Locate The CRM Automation Guide Inside AccessAlly
The “Guide” to setting up your CRM automations is built inside your AccessAlly plugin.
To locate it, go to the AccessAlly Course Wizard > Edit/Modify Existing Courses.
Here, you can choose the course you’d like to create the CRM automation for by clicking on the “Edit” button or anywhere on the icon of the course.
Once you’re editing the course, click on the “Integration” tab to be taken to the integration instructions.
Now, you’re inside the CRM automation setup guide. Here, you can see at a glance which CRM you’re integrated with.
From here simply follow the screenshots and the steps in the process to build your automation campaign.

The CRM Automation Guide will walk you through each step of the setup process. It’s recommended that you use the Guide inside your membership site (as opposed to the next part of this tutorial), as the links and tags you need are dynamic and will match up with the course you’re building.
