Update external database on course creation

Update external database on course creation

Hello!

I'm trying to implement external authentication and external enrolment for my Moodle system. So I need to update external database table every time new course in Moodle is created with course id and shortname. Maybe launch some sync script every time new course is created. Is it possible? Thank you.

Does the database enrollment task not do that? Can't you just schedule it to run every few minutes? Admin/scheduled tasks...

Sure, scheduled script is definitely an option. However, maybe it's possible to update external table instantly on course creation? Maybe trigger some event to launch update script?
