Set up MoodleCloud site activity notifications

You can set up notifications to generate emails that inform you about new or expiring enrolments or forum activity in your MoodleCloud Site, or create custom reports.

You can set up email notifications using the Event monitoring feature. This service will email you when there is a new enrolment, expiration of enrolment, forum activity, etc.

To set up notifications:

1. Go to Site Administration > Reports > Event monitoring rules;
2. Click Enable;
3. Click Add a new rule;
4. Add a rule name;
5. Select the area to monitor (eg. Forum or Core);
6. Select event (eg. Some content has been posted or User enrolled in course);
7. Click Save changes

You can find all available events that you could monitor in Site administration > Reports > Events list. Refer to the Events list report article for more information about this.

You can also enable standard Notifications to be sent through email, within the site, or mobile. They are enabled site-wide and each user may manage them from their preference settings.

* If you're trying to send enrolment notifications to your users, they will only be sent in two cases. They will be generated automatically when using the self-enrolment method, though you cannot edit the email that is sent. For manual enrolments, teachers have the option to edit the course welcome message.

*Site notifications are sent when the cron service runs for your site, so there may be a delay. The cron run time is managed by the MoodleCloud team and cannot be manually run by you.
