Basic Setup in Circle

Start by laying the foundation for your community:

  • Incorporate it into ads so that new users can easily join your community

Create Circle Workflow

Finally, create a Circle workflow that is triggered as soon as a member completes a course. The workflow should:

  • Automatically assign the appropriate Circle tag,
