- Bring credential activity into a course follow-up workflow.
- Use interaction events to inform the next administrative step.

Questions about this workflow
Can it retrieve interactions without a credential identifier?
No. The interaction action requires a specific credential. Supply the identifier in the instruction or available context.
Does this verify the award?
No. It lists interaction events for a credential; it does not verify an award.
Can interaction history show whether a recipient opened or acted on a credential?
It returns credential interaction events. What they establish depends on the events Certifier provides.
