IMPORTANT: Soon we will be releasing our smart connectors, which will replace our legacy connectors in this section. Our smart connectors will allow you to quickly and easily integrate with a multitude of platforms and external content sources such as learning content libraries and learning management systems (LMS). Due to this, we are no longer accepting requests for our legacy LinkedIn Learning and Udemy for Business connectors.

Udemy for Business courses, surfaced using the Udemy for Business search connector, only exist in Fuse’s search index. This means they do not actually exist in Fuse alongside items of Fuse content. As a result, Udemy for Business courses cannot be added to topics or learning plans. However, as a workaround, you can add Udemy for Business course URLs to Fuse external links, and then add these external links to topics and learning plans. This allows users to navigate to a course that is in Udemy for Business via a learning plan or topic.

Ordinarily, Fuse automatically extracts a title, thumbnail and description from URLs. This is currently not possible for Udemy for Business URLs. This information must be entered manually before posting to Fuse.

If you choose to do this, the Udemy for Business course will appear twice in search results:

  • As a Udemy for Business course surfaced via the connector

  • As a Fuse external link

We do not recommend doing this on a large scale, as this may prove confusing for users.
