Workflow Trigger: Courses New Sign Up in Sparkforge

By Sparkforge Support Team ·Last reviewed May 3, 2026

The Courses New Sign Up trigger fires a Sparkforge workflow when a new contact signs up for a membership, course, or community offer. It only runs the first time access is granted.

The New Signup trigger fires a Sparkforge workflow when a new customer signs up for a membership offer, service, or product such as a community group. Use it to send welcome emails, deliver onboarding, or apply tags for segmentation.

Important

If the contact already had access to that membership offer or community group through another path, this trigger will not fire.

Configure the trigger

Two settings:

Field	Description	Required
Workflow Trigger Name	Identifier for this trigger inside the workflow.	Yes
Offer	Optional. Filter to a specific offer (e.g., a discount or membership).	No

Example

A workflow that fires when a contact signs up using the 15% Early Bird Discount offer:

Workflow Trigger Name: Course New Sign Up
Offer: 15% Early Bird Discount

Example actions to chain after the trigger

Send a welcome email with next steps and onboarding info.
Tag the contact with something like Early Bird for segmentation in future campaigns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this trigger fire if the contact already has access?

No. If the contact was already granted access to that membership offer or community group through any other path, the trigger won't run.

Is the Offer filter required?

No. Leave it blank to fire on any new signup, or set it to a specific offer to scope the workflow to one campaign.

Can I run multiple workflows from the same signup?

Yes. Build separate workflows with the New Signup trigger, each scoped to a different offer or with no filter.

What's a typical first action after this trigger?

A personalized welcome email and a tag, then opportunity creation or task assignment if your team needs to follow up manually.
