How agencies will use this

Agencies can leverage Course Announcements to improve communication with students in their or their clients' courses. For example, an agency managing a course on 'Facebook Ads for Local Businesses' can use this feature to notify all enrolled students about a new module release, a live Q&A session, or important updates to Facebook's ad policies. The agency creator can draft the announcement with formatted text and links to relevant resources, then choose to send it to all students in that specific course. Optionally, they can trigger an email notification to ensure all students are aware, even if they haven't logged in recently. This centralizes updates, reducing reliance on external email tools or group chats, and keeps learners engaged directly within their learning environment.

Our take

This is a major new feature for anyone utilizing HighLevel's course functionality. Direct, in-app and optional email announcements streamline communication for course creators. HighLevel has not confirmed who is affected by this or its rollout status, so agencies should check their accounts.
