Getting started with CertSeal

CertSeal helps you design a certificate once, then issue it to everyone at once. You build a template with dynamic fields like the recipient’s name, group your recipients into a batch, and CertSeal renders a personalized certificate for each person and emails it out — with a permanent, shareable verification page for every certificate.

The building blocks

A few concepts, from the outside in:

• Organization & workspace — your billing home and the area that holds your content. Most people start with the single workspace created at sign-up. (See Organizations & workspaces for teams and multiple workspaces.)
• Certificate template (design) — the certificate layout recipients receive: your logo, colors, signatures, and dynamic fields like {{recipient_name}}.
• Email template — the message that carries each certificate, also personalized with {{variable}} fields.
• Batch — a group of recipients who all receive the same design — a class, a cohort, an event roster. A batch ties together a design, an optional email template, and its recipients.
• Recipients — the people in a batch. Each one gets a personalized certificate and a unique verification link.
• API keys — credentials for issuing certificates programmatically from your own systems (LMS, CRM, Zapier, and more).

Quick start

The fastest path from empty workspace to a delivered certificate:

1. Create a certificate template. Start from a ready-made design or a blank canvas, then drop in dynamic fields. → Manage certificate templates
2. Write an email template. Compose the message that delivers the certificate (optional, but recommended). → Manage email templates
3. Create a batch. Give it a title, pick your design and email template, and set the course and issuer names. → Create and manage a batch
4. Import recipients and send. Upload a CSV or XLSX of names and emails, review, then send — CertSeal personalizes and delivers a certificate to each one.

Prefer to issue certificates from your own code or automation tools? Create a key and call the REST API. → Manage API keys

Where to next

• Create and manage a batch — the day-to-day workflow: recipients, sending, and statuses.
• Manage certificate templates — the design editor and dynamic fields.
• Manage email templates — subjects, bodies, and live previews.
• Manage API keys — programmatic issuance and key rotation.
