COURSE OVERVIEW

Get Your Community Live with SCB 🎉

Set up Smart Community Builder, launch your community, and tour the key features that’ll make it thrive.


Hi , welcome! 🎉

Most community plugins make you choose. You either get speed, OR you get features, OR you get something that looks good. Rarely all three.

SCB was built differently. Speed first. Then meaningful features that actually move the needle (like comment-to-DM automation). Then design that doesn’t need a designer.

This course gets your community live and walks you through the key features so you can start using them right away.

What you’ll walk away with

Real outcomes, not just lessons watched.

01

Your community live with your branding

From install to public-facing community with your branding, forums, and first members. Same day.

02

Registration, login, and access set up the right way

Where members sign up, where they log in, how SCB integrates with SCP and other platforms, and which access rules apply.

03

Automations that grow your list and engagement

Comment-to-DM, poll-to-DM, cross-plugin triggers, and more

04

Notifications that bring members back

In-app, email, and push notifications that keep your community engaged without being noisy.

05

Events and summits to engage and monetize

Single events, multi-day summits, paid event gating with Zoom and Google Meet built in.

Who this course is for

Two paths in, same destination.

🚀

If you’re brand new
