What is a notifications agent for Moodle?

It is a plugin that watches what happens in Moodle and, when a condition is met — inactivity, course completed, grade, due date —, sends automatic messages to students, teachers, or managers and runs actions such as enrolling or issuing certificates, with no admin intervention.

Can I send personalized messages to students and teachers?

Yes. Each message uses templates with the person's name, course, and dates, and you choose who receives it: the student, their teacher or tutor, their manager, or several at once, by email or through Moodle's internper monthsaging.

Do I need to know how to code to create rules?

No. Rules are configured from Moodle's interface by selecting conditions and actions from menus. If you can create a course, you can create a rule.

Do notifications reach the Moodle mobile app?

Internper monthsages use Moodle's messaging system, so they also reach the official mobile app when your site has it enabled; emails land in each person's inbox.

Which Moodle versions is it compatible with?

The plugin is built on Moodle's official APIs and tested against actively supported versions. Before installing, we validate your exact version and test it outside production — compatibility is confirmed in writing.

Does it affect my platform's performance?

No: rules are evaluated through Moodle's cron and events, not heavy real-time queries. In operations with thousands of users the impact is imperceptible — and we measure it before and after installing.

What happens if a rule fires by mistake?

Every run is recorded in an auditable log: which rule ran, when, on whom, and what it did. Rules can be paused, edited, or reverted at any time, and you can test them in simulation mode before activating.

Notifications agent

Automated notifications agent plugin for Moodle

A notifications agent that works for you inside Moodle, the open-source LMS: set up "if this happens, do that" rules and the system sends automatic messages to students and teachers, enrolls them in courses, assigns activities, and issues certificates — on its own, on time, and without anyone having to remember.

What it is

What is the notifications agent for Moodle?

It is a plugin for Moodle — the open-source LMS most widely used by schools, universities, and companies — that watches what happens in your courses and, when a condition is met, sends automated notifications and runs actions for you. Instead of checking reports and sending reminders by hand, you define the rule once and the agent applies it to all your students, every day.

Detects inactivity, progress, grades, and due dates
Sends personalized messages by email or Moodle messaging
Enrolls, assigns refreshers, and issues certificates instantly
Keeps an auditable log of every notification sent

Features of the notifications agent plugin

Any condition chains with any action — and a single rule can send severper monthsages and run several actions at once.

Tailored notifications
Message templates with the student's name, course, and due date — by email or Moodle internper monthsaging, to the student, their teacher, or their manager.
Condition: inactivity
Days without logging in or without progressing in a course: the agent writes to the learner who is falling behind before they drop out.
Condition: completion and grades
Course or activity completed, minimum grade reached or failed: the trigger for recognition or for a refresher.
Condition: dates and membership
Upcoming or past due date, cohort, group, or profile fields — for compliance and to target who receives each message.
Actions beyond alerts
Automatic enrollment or unenrollment, assignment of refresher activities, certificate issuing, and group or cohort changes.
Log and simulation mode
Every rule records what it did, when, and to whom; before activating it you test it in simulation, without sending a single reper monthsage.

Why

Why use a notifications agent?

Because communication that depends on someone remembering fails. These are the reasons we hear most from people who already use it.

Get your free assessment

Less drop-off

Inactive learners get a message in time, not after they have already failed. Online training stops depending on the tutor's memory.

Hours recovered

Reminders, enrollments, and certificates that used to be manual work are configured once and run on their own forever.

Consistent communication

Every student gets the same message at the same moment, with their name and course — no forgetting, no favoritism.

Compliance with evidence

Expiration notices are logged: you know who was notified and when, ready for an audit.

Who is the plugin for?

For anyone running a Moodle platform who wants communication with learners to happen on its own.

Moodle administrators

They stop chasing pending tasks: rules enroll, notify, and certify while they focus on what matters.

Teachers and tutors

They send follow-up messages to their students without writing them one by one, and find out in time who is falling behind.

Training and HR leaders

Corporate universities and training departments that need compliance, expiration reminders, and evidence per employee.

Moodle's native notifications vs. a notifications agent

Moodle already announces some events on its own. The difference is who decides what gets sent, to whom, and what happens next.

	Moodle native notifications	Geedle notifications agent
What triggers the alert	System events: submissions, forum posts, released grades.	The conditions you define: inactivity, progress, grades, dates, cohort, or group.
Message content	Generic system text.	Templates with the student's name, course, and dates.
Who receives it	The person involved in the event.	The student, their teacher or tutor, their manager, or several at once.
What happens next	Nothing: the alert is the end.	Chained actions: enroll, assign refreshers, issue certificates, move groups.
Record	No per-rule log.	Auditable log of every run, plus simulation mode.

Real examples running every day

Automatic onboarding

When an employee is added to the "New hires" cohort, they are enrolled in the 4 welcome courses and receive a message with their training calendar.

Compliance without chasing

15 days before their annual certification expires, the employee and their manager are notified; if they don't renew, the agent reassigns the course and notifies them again.

Instant recognition

When someone passes with 90 or more, the certificate is issued on the spot and the student gets a congratulations message — no one has to press a button.

Quick installation: your first rule in three steps

We install and validate the plugin in your Moodle; after that, creating rules takes minutes — no code.

Get your free assessment

Define the condition

Pick the trigger from a menu: days of inactivity, course completed, grade reached, upcoming due date, or group membership. Combine several conditions in a single rule to fine-tune exactly when the agent should act.

Configuring the condition of an automation rule in Moodle

Write the message and choose the actions

Write the message template with the student's data and choose who receives it. Add what else should happen: enroll in the next course, assign refresher activities, or issue the signed certificate.

Automatic notification and certificate issued by a rule

Turn it on and forget it

The rule runs 24/7 with an auditable log: what it did, when, and to whom. Pause it, edit it, or test it in simulation mode. Your admin gets hours back every week — and the forgetting disappears.

Relaxed admin while the active rules panel runs on its own

More than alerts: the engine of your Moodle

The notifications agent powers the other plugins: it moves learners along their Moodle learning paths automatically and hands out points and coins from avatar gamification when goals are met. And if your operation needs a rule or action that doesn't exist yet, we build it with our custom Moodle plugin development.

Impact is measured in hours recovered

What we see when rules go live in real operations with hundreds or thousands of users.
