Are you struggling to keep track of your enrolled students on Thinkific? Do you find it time-consuming to manually update spreadsheets whenever a new student enrolls in your online course?
With the popularity of e-learning platforms such as Thinkific, keeping track of your enrolled students is essential. But manually tracking and managing student enrollment records can be tedious and time-consuming.
Thankfully, the Zapier automation platform offers a seamless solution to help you automate and streamline enrollment. By integrating Thinkific with Google Sheets using Zapier, you can easily create a spreadsheet of all your enrolled students, eliminating the need for manual data entry and reducing the chances of errors.
This article will guide you through the steps to set up the integration, map the fields, test and run the Zap, and discuss the benefits of using Zapier with Thinkific. Let’s start and see how Zapier can help you enroll students using Google Sheets effortlessly.
Setting Up Zapier Integration
To automate the process of enrolling students on Thinkific and keep a record of them on Google Sheets, you need to set up an integration using Zapier. Here’s how you can do it:
Step 1: Creating a Zap
The first step is to create a Zap. Zapier provides a simple and intuitive interface for creating and managing Zaps. Log in to your Zapier account and click the “Make a Zap” button to start.
Step 2: Connecting Thinkific and Google Sheets
Once you’ve created your Zap, the next step is to connect Thinkific and Google Sheets. You must authorize Zapier to access your Thinkific and Google Sheets accounts to do this.
Step 3: Setting up the Trigger and Action
After connecting Thinkific and Google Sheets, you must set up the Trigger and Action. In this case, the Trigger will be a new enrollment on Thinkific, and the Action will add a new row to a Google Sheets spreadsheet.
Once you’ve set up the Trigger and Action, Zapier will monitor your Thinkific account for new enrollments. When it detects a new enrollment, it will automatically add a new row to the Google Sheets spreadsheet you’ve specified.
With the Zap set up, you can sit back and let Zapier enroll your students and keep track of them on Google Sheets. The next section will examine how to map the Thinkific fields to the Google Sheets spreadsheet.

Mapping Thinkific Fields to Google Sheets
To ensure that the data from Thinkific is correctly recorded on the Google Sheets spreadsheet, you need to map the Thinkific fields to the appropriate columns on the spreadsheet.
Selecting the Google Sheet to map the fields
In the Zap you created in the previous section, select the Google Sheets spreadsheet you want to use. If you haven’t created the spreadsheet yet, you can create it directly from Zapier.
Mapping the fields from Thinkific
Next, you must map the fields from Thinkific to the appropriate columns on the Google Sheets spreadsheet. For example, you might want to map the student’s name to the “Name” column, the course name to the “Course Name” column, and so on.
Zapier makes it easy to map fields by providing a simple drag-and-drop interface. Select the field from Thinkific, drag it to the appropriate column on the Google Sheets spreadsheet, and drop it. Repeat this process for all the fields you want to map.
Once you’ve mapped all the fields, you can test and run the Zap. In the next section, we’ll look at how to test and run the Zap to ensure it works correctly.
Testing and Running the Zap
Before relying on the Zap to automatically enroll students and keep track of them on Google Sheets, testing and running the Zap to ensure everything works correctly is important. Here’s how you can do it:
Testing the Zap
To test the Zap, you must enroll a student on Thinkific and verify that the student’s information is correctly recorded on the Google Sheets spreadsheet. Once you’ve enrolled a student, Zapier will automatically detect the enrollment and add a new row to the Google Sheets spreadsheet.
Check the Google Sheets spreadsheet to verify the information has been recorded correctly. If everything looks good, you’re ready to run the Zap.
Running the Zap
To run the Zap, simply turn it on. Zapier will start monitoring your Thinkific account for new enrollments and add a row to the Google Sheets spreadsheet for each enrollment it detects.
With the Zap running, you can sit back and let Zapier enroll your students and keep track of them on Google Sheets.
Troubleshooting the Zap
If the Zap isn’t working correctly, you can troubleshoot it by checking the Zap history in Zapier. The Zap history shows you a detailed log of all the events in the Zap, including any errors or issues.
You can use the Zapier support resources or community to get help if you encounter any issues. You can get the Zap up and running smoothly with a little troubleshooting.
