LifterLMS
Integrations pro Pro featureConnect LifterLMS course and membership enrollment to Jetonomy spaces - students get a dedicated discussion area when they enroll, and lose access when removed.
PRO - This feature requires Jetonomy Pro.
LifterLMS works exactly like the other LMS integrations. The course picker, the Sync Members button, and the Auto-Create card are shown in the LearnDash guide, which is the lead LMS reference for this section.
What You Will Learn#
- How to gate a space by LifterLMS course or membership enrollment
- How to auto-create spaces when new courses are published
- How to sync existing students into a space
How Detection Works#
Jetonomy Pro detects LifterLMS automatically when both plugins are active. A LifterLMS Course option appears in the Access Rules rule type dropdown.
Linking a Course to a Space#
- Go to Jetonomy → Spaces → open the space → Access Rules tab.
- Select LifterLMS Course from the rule type dropdown.
- Start typing the course name - a searchable dropdown shows all published courses and memberships (see the course picker screenshot).
- Select the course, set the Access level to Participate.
- Click Add Rule.
LifterLMS memberships also appear in the search - select a membership to gate a space by membership level instead of individual course enrollment. For what each Access level means, see Access level.
Syncing Existing Students#
Click the Sync Members button next to any rule to pull in all currently enrolled students. New enrollments and removals sync automatically.
Auto-Create Spaces for New Courses#
- Go to Jetonomy → Settings → Integrations.
- Enable the LifterLMS toggle under Auto-Create Spaces for Courses.
- Choose the default space type and save.
When you publish a new LifterLMS course, a private space is created with the course name, an access rule, and the course author as space admin.
Enrollment and Un-enrollment Events#
| LifterLMS Event | Jetonomy Action |
|---|---|
| Student enrolls in course | Added to linked space as Member |
| Student added to membership | Added to linked space as Member |
| Student completes course | Access retained |
| Student removed from course | Removed from linked space |
| Student removed from membership | Removed from linked space |
| Enrollment permanently deleted | Removed from linked space |
Content remains in the space - only access is revoked.
Memberships and Courses#
LifterLMS memberships can auto-enroll students in multiple courses. When a student joins a membership:
- They gain access to spaces linked to the membership itself
- They also gain access to spaces linked to the auto-enrolled courses (via the course enrollment hooks)
Troubleshooting#
LifterLMS Course does not appear in dropdown - Confirm Jetonomy Pro and LifterLMS are both active. Check Jetonomy → Settings → Integrations.
Membership students not getting access - Ensure the access rule uses the membership level ID (shows as "Membership Name (LifterLMS Membership)" in the search). Course-level rules only apply to direct course enrollment.
