The problem it solves

Making certificates for a course, webinar, or event one by one is slow and easy to mess up. You end up copying names into a template, exporting each file, and emailing them out by hand, hoping nobody gets missed or duplicated.

Who it fits

Anyone who runs courses, webinars, or events and needs to send certificates to a list of attendees.

How it works

  1. A list of recipients and their details lives in a spreadsheet
  2. Each certificate template is filled in automatically with the right name and details
  3. The finished certificate is saved as a PDF
  4. The PDF is emailed to the recipient through Gmail
  5. The spreadsheet is marked so nobody gets a duplicate certificate

We can build this. But should you?
