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:
python3 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:
# [Course Name] - Summary
**Host:** [Name], [Company]
**Dates:** [Start] - [End]
**Status:** [Access level] Confirmed

Step 5: Add to Daily Note
Add a link to the new document in today's daily note Captures section:
- [[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:
- [ ] **[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.
