News feed automation

You can use automation to add actions that are triggered when a user, who is not a moderator, posts and/or replies on a course or group News feed. To add actions, go to the configure Admin/News Feed area of the course or group. Please note that these automation actions don't currently apply to announcements, just postings.



Here you can click the Add button under "Post actions" and "Reply actions". A pop-up will open where you can select the actions that you want to add. For example, you could award a user 5 points for posting to the News feed and 2 points for replying to a posting.
