Reminders

If the card in which you ask for e-mail is located in the midst of your mini-course and you would like to get them as subscribers when the card is answered, even if they did not complete the whole course, you can choose "card end" in the webhook settings.

If you do so, you should set your "Filter" in a different manner. Instead of type=course finish" condition, your filter should be filled with the data from the question cards with their ID's and it should look like this.

It is recommended to choose either "Card End" or "Course Finish" in the webhook settings. Choosing both may complicate the results.
