Can I use Google Forms or Typeform?

Yes — connect any form tool's webhook/integration to the workflow's webhook URL.

Does this handle payment?

No — this triggers after enrollment is confirmed elsewhere (e.g. after checkout); it's purely the welcome/notification layer.

Student Enrollment Welcome

The moment someone enrolls through your form, this automation logs them to a Students roster in Google Sheets, sends them a warm welcome email, and notifies the instructor on Slack. No manual roster updates, no missed welcome emails.
