    I’m planning to update my Thinkific domain, how do I update it in Wobo?

    If you’re planning to update your Thinkific domain, you’ll need to contact Wobo support so we can do this for you.

    Thinkific currently does not allow automatic updates so once you know what your new URL will be, please email us at: support@woboapp.com with the following information:

    1. The admin email address of your Wobo account
    2. Your current Thinkific domain URL
    3. Your new Thinkific domain URL

    This change can take up to 48 hours to implement so please try to let us know in advance so that we can coordinate timing and your workbooks will remain accessible.

    We’ll let you know once the change is complete. You can then proceed with updating each of the URLs in your Thinkific multimedia lessons.

    You only need to update the domain section of the URL as in the screen below. Simply replace the old domain with your new domain, the rest of the URL does not need to be changed.

    I updated my Thinkific domain and now Wobo isn’t loading. How do I fix this?

    Your Thinkific domain and Wobo domain must match. If you’ve only updated your Thinkific domain your Wobo workbooks will not longer be accessible.

    Thinkific currently does not let us update your Wobo domain automatically so if you’ve already made the change in Thinkific, please email us at: support@woboapp.com with the following information:

    1. The admin email address of your Wobo account
    2. Your current Thinkific domain URL
    3. Your new Thinkific domain URL

    This change can take up to 48 hours to implement so please try to let us know in advance as early as possible so we can coordinate timing so workbooks remain accessible. We’ll let you know once the change is complete. You can then proceed with updating each of the URLs in your Thinkific multimedia lessons.

    You only need to update the domain section of the URL as in the screen below. Simply replace the old domain with your new domain, the rest of the URL does not need to be changed.

    Why can’t I install the Thinkific app?

    There are a few limitations on who can install Thinkific apps:

    • The email you use for Wobo and Thinkific must match in order to install the Thinkific app.
    • In Thinkific, you must be a site admin in order to install apps.
    • To keep your work but transfer your Wobo account to a Thinkific Site Admin, Under Settings > Profile, you can change your email. Once confirmed, try installing the Thinkific app again.
    ‣
    My student updated their email in Thinkific. What happens now?

    If your student updates their email for your Thinkific course, the next time they log in to Thinkific, a new workbook will be created for them. This means they will not have access to previous workbook responses. We are working on allowing students that change their emails to retain their work. Please reach out to the team at support@woboapp.com if this is an issue for you.

    How do I uninstall the Thinkific App?

    Follow these instructions to disconnect your Thinkific account from Wobo. You can do this if you’re no longer using Thinkific, or before connecting a different Thinkific domain to Wobo.

    ⚠️
    Note that if you uninstall the Wobo Thinkific app, students will not be able to access any workbooks that are embedded in your online course. You can re-install with the same or a new Thinkific site at any time in Wobo under Settings > Apps.

    3. Find “Wobo” in the list, and click the uninstall button, represented by a red trash can button.
    4. Choose a reason for uninstalling, and click “Yes, Uninstall”.
    5. You’re done! If you uninstalled so that you could connect a different site, you can now connect a different Thinkific domain.

    Re-installing the Wobo App with a new Thinkific Domain

    To re-install the Wobo app, or install it again with a new Thinkific domain:

    1. In your Wobo account, click the user icon in the top toolbar and choose “Settings”
    2. Choose “Apps” in the left menu.

    I’m planning on enabling external SSO provider Auth0 for Login and authentication (not via Thinkific), are there any settings that I need to adjust through Auth0 to make this work?

    Auth0 authentication via SSO provider is an unknown territory for us and we're not familiar with third party Auth0 SSO integrations. That's why we have never advertised or encouraged our customers to use this as we cannot anticipate the possible outcomes due to its enabling or disabling.

    What is Embedding?

    Embedding allows you to include external content within lessons so that you can display web pages like videos, surveys, and of course digital workbooks within the context of your course. In Thinkific, this is done using the Multimedia lesson type.

    What does the Thinkific app do?

    The Thinkific app enables your students to use their Thinkific credentials to seamlessly single sign-on into Wobo. As a course creator, it also automatically installs the site footer code snippet required to use Wobo within the course player, so fewer manual steps are required to get started.

    This means:

    • Students don't need to create a separate Wobo account since their Wobo account will be created using their Thinkific credentials.
    • As a course creator, you don't need to invite students to your workbook by email, since they will enroll themselves by signing in through Thinkific.
    • Students can work through exercises without leaving the Thinkific course player, minimizing distractions and improving engagement.

    How to Embed in Thinkific

    Step 1: Install the Wobo Thinkific App

    1. Enter the workbook builder by choosing Edit Workbook from the dashboard in Wobo.
    2. Find the module you want to include, and click the [⋮] menu on the right of the module name and a pop-up will appear.
    💡
    You might be prompted to publish your workbook and choose workbook dates first so that it's ready to share once embedded. Do that before continuing.
    1. In the pop-up, choose Thinkific, and if you don't have the app installed yet, you'll be prompted to do that before continuing. Follow the steps on screen to complete the installation. If you already have the app installed, continue to Step 2.

    Open the Copy Embed URL pop-up:

    Step 2: Insert Module Embed Link in a Thinkific Lesson

    💡
    Each module has a unique URL that you can copy and paste into a Thinkific lesson. This will allow multiple exercises to be shown in the context of your course without sending students to another window.

    Add Wobo into a Multimedia Lesson:

    1. Once you've installed the Thinkific app using the instructions above, click the [⋮] menu beside the module you want to embed and you should now see a URL that you can copy.

    Link to copy the embed URL:

    image
    1. In Thinkific, choose Add Lesson where you want the workbook module to appear, and then choose Multimedia Lesson.
    2. Ensure Use externally hosted content is selected, and then paste the URL you just copied into the field and save your changes in Thinkific.

    Sending students to their dashboard

    Students can optionally view their workbook in a separate tab. This student dashboard is also where they can view their workbook after your course is complete.

    Instructions on how to access the student dashboard are in this article.

    ➡️
    Now that your students have access to your workbook, you can view their progress and responses.
