I had been working from home all day, trying to complete my current eLearning project before its deadline, when I decided to take a quick break and browse some job postings. As a freelancer, it’s important to stay on top of new opportunities, even when things get hectic.
I was scrolling through the job alerts on my Upwork account when a particular posting caught my eye. “Learndash LMS integration with Uncanny Automator to renew courses.” This was exactly what I had been working on for a client just a few weeks ago.
I clicked on the job posting and read through the details, feeling a thrill of excitement. The client was looking for someone who was skilled in both Learndash and Uncanny Automator to set up a system that would automatically renew course access after two years. This was exactly the kind of project I loved – a challenging task that required my expertise and skills.
I quickly assessed my workload and realized that I could dedicate the next few days to working on this project. I submitted my application, making sure to highlight my extensive experience with Learndash LMS and my previous work with Uncanny Automator.
As I settled back into my chair, I felt a sense of satisfaction. Even in the midst of a busy workday, I had found an exciting new opportunity that could help me grow my business and challenge my skills. And best of all, it was a project that I knew I would love.
“Reading through this job post, I’m immediately intrigued because it perfectly aligns with my expertise in Learndash LMS and Uncanny Automator, and offers a unique challenge in automating course renewals, an area I’m passionate about.”

This job posting piques my interest primarily because it intersects perfectly with my skill set and experience in using both the LearnDash LMS and Uncanny Automator. I find the task of automating course renewals particularly exciting as it presents a unique challenge beyond the routine configurations. This task would not only engage my problem-solving skills but also allow me to leverage my background in developing innovative solutions for e-learning platforms. Moreover, the opportunity to streamline the renewal process for over a thousand users offers the potential for tangible impact, enhancing the learner experience and the efficiency of the platform. In a broader sense, participating in this project could provide valuable insights into the evolving field of ed-tech and online learning solutions. I believe that any job that offers room for both skill application and skill development while making a measurable impact is undeniably interesting and worth pursuing.
The job posting instantly transported me back to a major project I undertook just months ago. I was tasked with setting up a complex automation on the Moodle LMS for a university, involving the enrolment and renewal processes for different online courses. The project was a vibrant entanglement of challenges and discoveries, amidst all the lines of codes and test batches, giving me countless hours of both pleasure and vexation.
As I read the job post, I was immediately reminded of a challenging project from last summer with an online university. It was a tricky endeavor revolving around the customization and automation of the course renewal process on the Moodle LMS. The experience was a thrilling fusion of coding complexities, running testing batches, and triumphant solutions – a unique dance of eLearning problem-solving that made my heart race with excitement.
Greetings,
We are in search of a skillful, detail-oriented professional with a solid understanding of LearnDash LMS and Uncanny Automator, or a similar automation tool, to help us enhance our eLearning platform.
Our eLearning platform serves over 1000 active, enthusiastic learners who are diligently progressing through various courses. We are looking to implement an automatic renewal system, designed to expire course progress after two years of completion. This requirement applies to all user types, including group users, compelling them to re-enroll and refresh their progression.
In addition to this, we seek to develop an automated email reminder for our learners that triggers a month before the end of their two-year course period. This reminder is essential to encourage our users to renew their courses, ensuring their learning journey remains uninterrupted. This automation process would need to be repetitive, occurring every two years to maintain user course relevancy.
Currently, we’ve managed to apply these conditions to future users but our existing users, who have completed their courses, remain unaffected. We are open to considering alternative automation tools such as Zapier or Pabbly, to realize this goal.
We are offering a budget of $200 and are looking for individuals proficient in Full Stack Development, with a focus on LearnDash, Learning Management Systems, WooCommerce, WordPress Plugin, and Web Development.
Looking forward to hearing from professionals who can turn this challenge into a success story.
Best regards.
