Why this helps
Milestones are announced in the course but credential preparation can remain a separate, easy-to-forget task.
- Connect course milestones with credential preparation.
- Reduce setup delays for an eligible learner cohort.
- Use batch creation for up to 30 credentials per call.

- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real topic and verify the intended credential batch.
Questions about this workflow
Does a topic identify all credential recipients?

What if the course has more than 30 eligible learners?
Bulk creation supports up to 30 credentials in one call. Specify how Notis should handle a larger cohort.
