Automation

Automation

Overview

The site-wide automation feature allows you to define actions that apply to courses, modules, sections, assessments, groups, resources, and forums on the whole platform. This makes it easy to set up actions that are triggered, for example, when any course is completed or when any learner is added to a group.
Info
Please note that rule action filters still work with site-wide automation.
