Questions about this workflow
Does a successful ping guarantee every DPD operation will work?
No. The ping checks API status and does not verify every account permission or action.
Can this run before each course launch?
The available Notis triggers are an app event, webhook, or recurring schedule. Use a schedule that fits your launch preparation routine.
