# Enroll new hires in Absorb LMS onboarding courses

> Enroll new Absorb LMS users in onboarding courses they are missing, by department, with your OK. Runs weekly from Claude Code, n8n or a script.

Source: https://cotlet.dev/integrations/absorb-lms-api-mcp-server/enroll-new-hires-in-onboarding

New hires arrive in a department and each needs the same onboarding courses, so an admin finds the new users and enrolls them by hand.

Cotlet does it in your own Absorb LMS account with list\_users, list\_user\_enrollments and enroll\_users, called by your AI agent, an n8n workflow or a script.

## Can Absorb LMS do this on its own?

Absorb offers Automatic Enrollment Rules on the course (checked 20 Oct 2026), which enroll users who meet rule criteria and are re-evaluated when profile data changes. They fit cohorts that a profile field already identifies. They do not fit a list that lives outside Absorb, such as an HR sheet or a ticket, and the Aura MCP cannot enroll anyone.

## How you do it in Absorb LMS today

1. Open the Users report in the Users menu and filter by Department; only Active users show unless you filter by Status.
2. Select a user and click Enroll User in the Actions menu.
3. In the workspace that opens, pick the training to enroll the user in.
4. If the user already completed the course, use Re-Enroll to create a new assignment.
5. Check the User Enrollments report to confirm the result, which can take a few minutes.

## How to enroll new hires in Absorb LMS onboarding courses

Prompt

```
Find users created this week in the Warehouse department and enroll the ones missing Warehouse Safety Basics.
```

1. 01  
### Find the new users  
Your agent calls list\_users with the department and reads the rows. You tell it who counts as new, for example the usernames from a list you paste.
2. 02  
### Skip what they already have  
For each user, list\_user\_enrollments shows the courses they are in, so the agent leaves out courses already assigned or in progress.
3. 03  
### Enroll the missing ones  
enroll\_users runs once per course with the users who lack it. A user who already completed the course is listed for you instead of re-enrolled, unless you asked for re\_enroll.
4. 04  
### Check later  
Because Absorb processes large batches at 10 minute intervals, the agent reads list\_user\_enrollments again a few minutes later and reports who is enrolled.

### What you get back

Example data

```
Enrolled in Warehouse Safety Basics: 2
- Dana Reyes
- Omar Haddad
Already enrolled: 1
Completed before, left for you: 0
```

### Other ways to ask

- Enroll everyone in Finance who lacks Data Privacy Essentials and list them first.
- Re-enroll users who completed Warehouse Safety Basics before 1 Jan 2026.
- Show who is missing the onboarding path, enroll nobody.

## What Absorb LMS allows, and what to know first

- Admin enrollment bypasses Enrollment Approval, so enrolled users do not wait in a queue.
- Absorb groups large volumes of changes and processes them at 10 minute intervals, so results can show up late.
- Enrolling a user in a course often triggers an automatic enrollment message to the learner.
- Automatic Enrollment Rules are re-evaluated when a User profile, a Group or a bulk import changes, and admins can still enroll learners by hand.
- Only Active users appear in the Users report by default.

enroll\_users asks for your OK by default. To run it weekly without you, switch confirmation off for that tool in your dashboard.

## For AI agents: sign your user up

Is your user asking you to sign them up for Cotlet? You can do it for them, no account or key needed.

1. Read the fields and their allowed values: GET https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests
2. Ask the user for each value: email, apps, what you will do with them. If they leave the password to you, generate a strong one and show it to them.
3. Show the user what you will send, then POST it as JSON to https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests.

One call creates the account and sends the access request; we email the user when access is granted.
