Online Programs: Managing Your Program Participants

6 min read
Your participants are the heart of your online program. From the participants list, you can manage them as needed – invite new people to join, track your participants' progress and communicate with them directly. You can also filter the list to find specific participants faster.
In this article, learn more about: 

Inviting participants to join

Invite participants to join your programs by emailing them a link, adding them directly, sending them a link, or creating an email campaign. You can also use the Wix app to invite participants to download a Wix member app and join via the app. 
Notes:
  • Publish and upgrade your site so people can start joining your program. 
  • It's not possible to invite participants to programs in progress with fixed start and end dates. Make sure to invite participants before these programs are set to start. 

To invite participants:

  1. Go to Online Programs in your site's dashboard.
  2. Click the relevant program. 
  3. Click Invite Participants.
  4. Choose how you want to invite participants:
