GemCRM integration

GemCRM is a customer relationship management plugin that can automatically import your Academy LMS students as contacts, so you can add them to email lists, tag them and manage them alongside the rest of your customers.

Note: This setup lives inside GemCRM’s own settings, not on Academy’s Add-ons page. Academy’s Add-ons page only shows a GemCRM discovery card that links out. The integration requires GemCRM Pro; on GemCRM Free, the Academy LMS option does not appear in the Integration list.

Step 1: Open the Academy LMS integration

Go to GemCRM → Settings → Integration. Under LMS Integrations, select Academy LMS. You will see two controls:

1.Enable Academy LMS Auto Sync for Students: “Automatically sync Academy LMS students with GemCRM contacts to keep data up-to-date.”
2.Handle Academy LMS Emails via GemCRM: “Send Academy LMS student emails (enrollment, completion, quiz, assignment, etc.) from GemCRM instead of Academy LMS’s own email addon, to avoid duplicate emails.”
Open the Academy LMS integration

Step 2: Turn on student sync

Turn on Enable Academy LMS Auto Sync for Students. Two more fields appear:

Default List & Tag for Contact (Optional): an “Add List” and an “Add Tag” dropdown. A note under them explains: “Contacts matching any selection are included.” Leave both empty if you don’t want to add synced students to any list or tag automatically.
Default contact status (for new contacts): a dropdown, defaults to “Subscribed”.

Click Save Setting once you’re happy with the lists, tags and status.

Who gets synced, and when

GemCRM treats a WordPress user as an Academy student if they hold the Academy Student role. Sync is not instant: GemCRM runs a background job roughly every hour that syncs every enabled integration (Academy included) in one pass, so a newly enrolled student may take up to an hour to appear as a GemCRM contact.
