Automated Email Notification on Incomplete Courses

Hello, Is it possible to send automated email notifications to both the students and their managers on incomplete courses status? The intention is to create a time limit to take a course, and if the course is not taken within the specified time, automated email notifications would go out to notify that the student is reaching a deadline, and/or their time to take a course has expired. Is that possible? Should additional modules be installed? Thank you

Hi ciwclass,

Hi ciwclass, You are talking about taking a lesson? Or taking all the lessons required for a course validation? Best regards

Hi James,

Hi James, Email notification on both incompleted lessons and courses are needed in my case. There are times that only a lesson is provided, and in other times a collection of lessons making up a course may be required. Thanks again

Hi ciwclass,

Hi ciwclass, But you want a reminder, like 1 day before the quiz closes, or just an email informing that he failed and cannot do anything about it? Best regards

Hi James,

Hi James, Great question; both are applicable. My question was originally the reminder before an activity such as quiz/lesson/course closes. Thanks again

For the quiz a field already

For the quiz a field already exists with the availability date. You can just create a cron, that loops on the quizes and checks if it is not always available. If it is not always available, you check the date and if ( the close date - the today date ) is lower than the time you want ( for example 3 days ) you get the courses that that quiz is part of. For each of those courses, you get the users and check if that user has passed for that quiz. If not send an email. For the course, you can create a date field and do something very similar. Best regards

Thanks James, I see that I have to work on creating cron jobs to make this feature work.

Hi ciwclass,

Hi ciwclass, Yes, a cron job would be required for this feature. Best regards

Due dates

Would this work for wanting to send notifications when a deadline is approaching? Without putting an expiration date on the class and closing it, we'd like to be able to give a due date/deadline upon assigning a class/course, and then have an email notification go out periodically (say 2 days before deadline, 2 days after, etc.) We may need to build in a custom field for due date?
