Course Bought

What This Does

When you buy a course, challenge, or program, the important details get scattered across multiple emails - Zoom links, schedules, action steps, upsell confirmations. This skill searches your email, extracts everything, and creates one organized document in your Zettelkasten.

Instructions

Step 1: Gather Course Details

Ask the user (if not provided):

• Course/program name
• Sender name or email domain (e.g., "Anik Singal", "lurn.com", "ugenticai.com")
• Start date (to set search range)

Step 2: Search Email

Run the email search script to find relevant emails:

Copypython3 skills/course-bought/scripts/search_course_emails.py "<sender_or_domain>" "<start_date>"

The script searches both Gmail and iCloud for emails matching the sender/domain since the start date.

Step 3: Extract Key Information

From the emails, extract:

Core Details:

• Course/program name
• Host/instructor name
• Company name
• Dates (start date, end date, daily schedule)
• Access level (free, VIP, premium, etc.)

Schedule:

• Daily/session schedule with times
• Time zone (usually ET - convert to AEDT for Ed)
• Special events (Q&A sessions, bonus calls, etc.)

Access & Links:

• Zoom meeting/webinar links with IDs
• Login portals or member areas
• Facebook groups or communities

Action Steps:

• Pre-course tasks mentioned in emails
• Surveys to complete
• Communities to join
• Videos to watch

Purchases:

• What was bought (core program, VIP upgrade, upsells)
• Prices paid
• What's included with each purchase

Contact Info:

• Support email
• Important sender addresses to whitelist

Step 4: Create Summary Document

Create a markdown document in Zettelkasten:

Filename: [Course Name] - Summary - YYYY-MM-DD.md Location: /Users/eddale/Documents/COPYobsidian/MAGI/Zettelkasten/

Document Structure:

Copy# [Course Name] - Summary

**Host:** [Name], [Company]
**Dates:** [Start] - [End]
**Status:** [Access level] Confirmed

*Compiled from emails received [date range]*

Step 5: Add to Daily Note

Add a link to the new document in today's daily note Captures section:

Copy- [[Course Name - Summary - YYYY-MM-DD]] - [Brief description]

Step 6: Create Action Tasks

Ask the user if they want the action steps added to their Ready section.

If yes, add tasks like:

Copy- [ ] **[COURSE TAG]:** [Action step]. See [[Course Name - Summary - YYYY-MM-DD]] (MM-DD)

Guidelines

• Always convert times to AEDT (Ed is in Australia)
• Include ALL Zoom/meeting links found - don't filter
• Whitelist suggestions are important - course emails often go to spam
• If emails are in both Gmail and iCloud, note which account
• Mark purchased items clearly vs. available upsells
• Action steps should be checkbox format for easy tracking

Examples

User: "I just bought Ash Maurya's course, process those emails"

Response: Search for emails from Ash Maurya or leanstack.com, extract all course details, create summary document, add to daily note, offer to add action steps to Ready.

User: "Process course emails from ugenticai.com since January 17"

Response: Search iCloud for emails from *@ugenticai.com since Jan 17, extract Make My Clone Challenge details, create comprehensive summary.
