Catch Hooks - Unlock Content Event Triggers

Article Summary

Overview

The Webservices Control Panel can be configured to change a user’s Content Role(s) based on Course or Chapter completions. This is handy because you can use it to unlock content after a user completes some sort of prerequisite. You can also “reset” their “Welcome Message Video” if desired on this trigger too.

What is a Catch Hook?

When we use the phrase "Catch Hook", we are referring to a mechanism designed to receive and process incoming webhook notifications or events.

This particular Catch Hook is designed to listen for a specific 'event' to occur (any action taken by the User such as completing a Chapter or a Course) which will then trigger another action to take place.

To put it plainly, you can create a series of Catch Hooks that will trigger based on a User's progress through their training. As the user completes a specific Course, a new Course can be unlocked or "added" to the User's training curriculum to guide them in a linear fashion down their learning path.

Basically: Completing A unlocks B, completing B unlocks C, C unlocks D, and so on.

The example above is the easiest route and is set up in a linear fashion, and requires little setup time other than knowing what the learning path should look like. (A unlocks B, etc.)

Creating a branching path is a bit more difficult, and will require you to utilize a combination of Catch Hooks as well as a third party vendor (Zapier) in order to configure it properly.
