Automated Course Notifications
People need to hear about new required training—without an inbox full of noise. Mandatory emails are smarter, quieter, and better timed.
People need to know when new required training lands—but they should not get a separate email for every group change. We redesigned mandatory notifications so learners stay informed and inboxes stay calm.
- Smarter mandatory emails — We send New Content notifications when someone gains a mandatory requirement (new group membership, a new requirement on existing access, or assignment directly to the user).
- Batched delivery — We send about every 15 minutes, and several assignments can share one email so the day does not feel like a firehose.
- Less duplicate mail — Already-required courses (via another group or individual visibility) do not trigger again. When no requirement remains from any source, we reset the state so a later requirement can notify again. People with a passing grade are not notified for that course—they already did the work.
