About Intelligent Agents
Intelligent agents monitor an org unit to find activity that matches criteria that you set. The criteria that the agents search for are:
- Login activity.
- Course activity.
- Release conditions in Learning Environment.
You can use existing release conditions, or create new ones for your agents. The agent then sends a separate email to the user that created the agent when it finds users matching its criteria.
You can run agents manually or set them to run on a schedule; daily, weekly, monthly, or annually.
When you run an agent manually, it sends a confirmation email to the user that requested or set up the agent. This email lists the following information:
- Org unit code and name.
- Which agent ran.
- Time and date the request was submitted.
- Time and date the request was finished.
- Whether the agent took action.
- Any error text.
Example uses for intelligent agents include:
- Email for users with grades below a certain level.
- Check for users that have not logged in within a specific number of days.
- Check for users that view a specific content topic.
