How to set a specific date to grant access to a course

In this article, you’ll learn how to grant access to a course on a specific date.

What you will need:

a systeme.io account
an order form
a student

How it works

To set a specific date for your course launch, follow these steps:

Step 1: Go to the payment page of the sales funnel you’re going to use to sell your course (number 1 on the image). Next, click on the "(+)" button in the "Resources" tab (number 2 on the image).

Step 2: Click on the "Grant access on a specific date" switcher to activate the feature.

Step 3: Select a release date of your choice.

Notes:

Your student will gain access to the course on the selected day at 00:00 in your time zone
You could also set an expiration delay if you select "full access" instead of "drip content" (learn the difference between the two here)
Expiration delays are set in days
Access to the course will be granted from the day of the purchase until the specified expiration date

Here is an example of a granted timed access to a course:

In the payment page of the sales funnel we’re using to sell our course, we selected resources settings and set the following values:

The date to grant access to the course is 24/05/2022

The expiration delay is set to 10 days

Students will get access to the course from 24/05/2022 at 00:00 (your time zone) until 03/06/2022 at 23:59, and that’s 10 full days of access (please note that May has 31 days).
