Sensei LMS
Connect Sensei LMS course enrollment to Jetonomy spaces - students get a dedicated discussion area when enrolled, and lose access when withdrawn.
PRO - This feature requires Jetonomy Pro.
Sensei LMS 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 Sensei LMS course 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 Sensei LMS automatically when both plugins are active. A Sensei 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 Sensei Course from the rule type dropdown.
- Start typing the course name - a searchable dropdown shows all published Sensei courses (see the course picker screenshot).
- Select the course, set Grants to Participate and Space Role to Member.
- Click Add Rule.
For what the Grants and Space Role fields mean, see Grants and Space Role.
Syncing Existing Students
Click the Sync Members button next to any rule to pull in all currently enrolled learners. New enrollments and withdrawals sync automatically.
Auto-Create Spaces for New Courses
- Go to Jetonomy → Settings → Integrations.
- Enable the Sensei LMS toggle under Auto-Create Spaces for Courses.
- Choose the default space type and save.
When you publish a new Sensei course, a private space is created with the course name, an access rule, and the course author (teacher) as space admin.
Enrollment and Un-enrollment Events
Sensei uses a single enrollment status change event that handles both enrollment and withdrawal:
| Sensei LMS Event | Jetonomy Action |
|---|---|
| Learner enrolled in course | Added to linked space as Member |
| Learner completes course | Access retained |
| Learner withdrawn from course | Removed from linked space |
| Learner manually enrolled by admin | Added to linked space as Member |
| Learner manually withdrawn by admin | Removed from linked space |
Content remains in the space - only access is revoked.
WooCommerce Integration
Sensei LMS integrates with WooCommerce for paid courses. When a student purchases a course through WooCommerce and Sensei enrolls them, the Jetonomy space access rule triggers automatically - no additional WooCommerce adapter needed for course gating.
Troubleshooting
Sensei Course does not appear in dropdown - Confirm Jetonomy Pro and Sensei LMS are both active. Check Jetonomy → Settings → Integrations.
Students not losing access after withdrawal - Ensure the withdrawal uses Sensei's standard enrollment management. Set the space to Private to fully restrict access.
