Questions about this workflow
Does a discussion message prove participation eligibility?
Not by itself. State the eligibility criteria and use only data available from the event or supplied by you.
Does listing credentials verify them?
No. The action retrieves credentials for review; it does not verify awards.
Can the results be limited to a learner?
Only when the relevant recipient information is available or included in the instruction and supported by the list results.
