847 participants just completed your annual training programme. Certificates need to go out by Friday. Your admin team is staring at a spreadsheet of names, a folder of PDF templates, and a weekend that's about to disappear.
This is how it used to work. One certificate at a time. Copy the name. Paste it into the template. Export. Attach. Send. Repeat 846 more times. Then pray nobody finds a typo on Monday.
There's a better way. Organisations issuing hundreds or thousands of certificates now automate the entire process - from course completion to branded, blockchain-secured certificate delivery - without touching a single template.
Here's how to set it up.
The most powerful option. TRUE's REST API has five endpoints that handle the complete certificate lifecycle:
How it works in practice: Your LMS, CRM, or training management system calls the API when a participant completes a course. TRUE creates the certificate, writes it to blockchain, and delivers it to the recipient - all automatically. No human intervention required.
Best for: Organisations with development resources or an existing tech stack they want to connect. Training providers issuing certificates continuously throughout the year. Any operation where manual issuing isn't sustainable.
Real example: Active Sweden - Friskvårdsföretagen has issued 7,326 documents through TRUE using API integration. That's 7,326 certificates their team didn't have to create, format, or send manually.
If your training runs through a Learning Management System, you can connect TRUE directly to your LMS. When a learner completes a course and passes the assessment, the certificate issues automatically.
TRUE integrates with:
How it works: Configure the integration once. Map your courses to certificate templates. From that point on, every completion triggers automatic issuance. The learner receives their blockchain-secured certificate without anyone in your team lifting a finger.
Best for: Universities, vocational schools, corporate L&D teams, and training providers already running courses through an LMS. The integration handles the bridge between course completion and certificate delivery.
Not every organisation needs API integration. For periodic bulk issuing - after a training cohort finishes, after an event, after annual certifications - TRUE offers two straightforward options:
Email-based issuing: Send a structured email to TRUE with recipient details. Certificates are generated and delivered. No dashboard login required.
Bulk CSV upload: Upload a spreadsheet through the TRUE dashboard. Map columns to certificate fields. Hit issue. Hundreds of certificates go out in minutes.
Best for: Organisations that issue certificates in batches rather than continuously. Event organisers. Associations issuing annual membership renewals. Any team that wants scale without engineering resources.
Automating the issuing is only half the story. What makes scaled certificate delivery valuable is what happens next.
Every recipient gets a professionally designed email from your organisation - not from TRUE. Your branding, your message, your domain in the sender field. The certificate link points to your custom domain.
Certificates live at credentials.yourorganisation.com. When recipients share them, when employers verify them, when anyone clicks the link - they see your brand. Not a third-party platform.
Recipients can add their certificate directly to their LinkedIn profile or share it on social media. Every share generates brand exposure for your organisation. TRUE customers have generated 100M+ marketing impressions from shared credentials.
Every certificate includes a QR code. An employer, client, or regulator scans it and sees the verified original - confirmed against the blockchain record. Instant verification, no phone calls.
Track when certificates are opened, shared, and verified. See geographic reach, engagement patterns, and marketing value generated. Know the impact of every certificate you issue - not just that it was sent.
Every certificate is written to four public blockchains (Ethereum, AVAX, Fantom, Polygon). The record is permanent and tamper-proof. A certificate issued today is verifiable in ten years. No one can alter it after issuance.
7,326 documents issued through TRUE via API integration. Active Sweden certifies wellness companies across the country. Their API integration means certificates flow automatically - no manual bottleneck, no matter how many organisations they certify.
"Our alumni now have nice looking Diplomas in an accessible format, but we also see great marketing value!"
- Sissel Gade, Head of Operations, AW Academy
AW Academy trains and places tech talent. Their alumni receive digital diplomas they're proud to share - and every share puts AW Academy's brand in front of potential clients and candidates.
"This is absolutely brilliant! A thousand thank you's!!"
- Tania Sjöberg, Learning & Development, Skanska
When one of the world's largest construction companies calls your certificate solution "brilliant," the scale challenge has been solved.
"The animation looks fantastic, and it's so simple for our recipients."
- Jessica Adolfsson, Customer Success Manager, Sitevision
Simplicity matters at scale. If every recipient needs instructions on how to access their certificate, you haven't automated - you've just moved the bottleneck.
Ready to move from manual to automated certificate issuing? Here's what to evaluate:
credentials.yourorganisation.com before launch. Every certificate will live there.Issuing certificates manually doesn't scale. It didn't work at 100 certificates, and it definitely doesn't work at 1,000 or 10,000.
The organisations that have solved this - Active Sweden with 7,326 API-issued documents, Skanska's L&D team, AW Academy's alumni programme - all made the same shift: connect the system, automate the flow, and let every certificate do double duty as a verified credential and a marketing asset.
500,000+ documents issued through TRUE. Five API endpoints. Blockchain-secured. Branded on your domain.
The question isn't whether to automate. It's how fast you can start.
Save time, increase traffic and insights and build trust, by upgrading to blockchain secured diplomas and course certificates, which are loved by recipients and always verifiably authentic.
