If any of the courses have been enrolled by the contact it will result as YES, otherwise, it will be a NO. So, there will be two branches for both “Yes” & “No”. Here, you can add different action blocks based on your preference. Then make sure to click the Save Settings button.

[Learndash] Check if the Contact is in a Group: With this conditional block, you can conditionally check if your contact is in a group in LearnDash. If any of the contacts are in a group it will result as YES, otherwise, it will be a NO. So, there will be two branches for both “Yes” & “No”.
