Track course progress every week
Know who is moving forward and who may need a nudge.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get user course progress
Retrieves the academic progress of a specific user within a given course.
Why this helps
Progress checks happen inconsistently, so support arrives after momentum is lost.
- Make follow-up timely
- Reduce manual progress checks
- Keep support decisions grounded
