  • Re-enroll people every 12 months, or on any monthly schedule you choose
  • See every trigger in the activity log, or run an automation by hand
  • Get a scheduled email of outside training that's about to expire

Compliance refreshers on autopilot

systems, with compliance and skills in one place and completion history carried across

  • 14compliance courses no longer due on the same day
  • Automatedrenewal dates, staggered across the year

We used to have 14 compliance courses fall due on the same day, across two separate systems. Automations now stagger renewal dates across the year, so training arrives in bite-sized chunks instead of 14 modules landing on a Tuesday.

Questions about training and onboarding automation

What is training automation in 5Mins?

It's a set of rules that enroll, re-enroll, and remind people for you. You choose who a rule applies to and which courses it assigns, with a delay and a due date for each course. 5Mins then enrolls new joiners when they register, re-enrolls people for refreshers, and reminds them before training is due.

Do I need to connect an HR system to use automations?

Only for new joiners. The New Employee Automation runs when someone registers, using your HRIS integration. 5Mins connects to 100+ HRIS platforms. Existing Employee Automations work for everyone already in 5Mins, filtered by role, region, join date, cohort, or custom field.

How do recurring compliance refreshers work?

Set a course to repeat a number of months after the start date, such as every 12 months. 5Mins re-enrolls people automatically, and Learning Records keep every earlier attempt as archived history, so nothing is overwritten.

When are course reminders sent?

Automatically, 7 days and 1 day before a course is due, at 10:00 in each person's own time zone. You can add your own reminders on top. Reminders go out by email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, and push notification.

Can I see what an automation has done?

Yes. The Activity tab shows total triggers, triggers this month, active automations, and the full trigger history. You can also run any automation by hand, or duplicate one as a starting point for a new rule.

Which plans include automations?

Enrollment automations are included from the Essentials plan. See pricing for the full comparison, or book a demo to talk through your setup.

Can reminders go to Slack and Microsoft Teams?

Yes. The 5Mins app sends course reminders as direct messages in Slack and Microsoft Teams, as well as by email and push notification, so people get them where they already work. The Slack and Microsoft Teams integrations are included from the Essentials plan.

Do managers get notified about their team's training?

Yes. The Team Progress Email goes to each manager on a schedule you choose, such as the first Monday of every month. It lists their team's overdue courses and the courses due in the next 30 days, and you can preview it before it's sent.

Can 5Mins automate employee onboarding training?

Yes. The New Employee Automation enrolls each new joiner when they register, using your HRIS integration. You choose the courses, and each one can unlock after a set delay with its own due date. Reminders go out by email, Slack, Microsoft Teams and push, and managers get the Team Progress Email.
