Invitation Enrolment Moodle Plugin
The Invitation enrollment plug-in for Moodle LMS allows instructors to invite students to their course and site, and grant necessary access and role to them. The invitation is sent via email and contains a link with an unique, one-time use invitation token.
When the user clicks on the link and logs into the site, (s)he is automatically enrolled into the course and the invitation link is marked as used.
Features
The benefits of using this plug-in over an enrollment key are:
- You can control who can use the invitation.
- You can include a personalized message in the invitation.
- You can see a history of past invitations and their status.
- You can also see who used an invitation or which ones are expired.
- You can resend expired invitations or send reminder invitations.
- You can revoke the invitation if has not yet been accepted.
- You can invite users who do not yet have an account. However, they will need to create an account before they can accept the invitation.
- You can limit invitations to users with existing accounts.
- You can limit the lifespan of the invitation (e.g. 2 weeks)

Any thoughts guys or am i missing something? I love the plugin, just feel that admins should be able to erase that history if needed.
Kind Regards

Could you please tell how to enable the enrolment plugin in moodle version 3.11
we have the problem that more than 50% of the invited participants do not receive the emails.
It seems that most of the problems occur with Gmail recipients - but also some others.
Has anyone (had) the same problem?
I would appreciate any advice.
I've successfuly installed plugin, added it to test course, sent invite to non registered test email, received this email and followed invite link (clicked Accept invitation button). But after it i see standart login page where i should input login and password. Can you tell, what configs I missed? Or may be you can tell the direction where i should check logs or smth else?
If you are not seeing the option on the login page to create a new account, that option may need to be enabled on your site.
There is a way for sure. Just make your course available to guests and have them automatically login as guest. This functionality is all built into Moodle.
Then simply email them a link to the course. They won't need to login at all and no extra plugins required.
This will have some limitations though. Since they won't have an account, there will be no way to track their course progress or completion. Some activities, like a quiz require you to be logged in so those won't work either.
Hope you find this helpful.
Best regards,
Michael
How can a user immediately add a group?
It is hard to guess at why the user did not receive the email. You might want to take a look at an article that I wrote last month on the subject. See https://www.elearningworld.org/moodle-lms-email-deliverability-in-2024-best-practices-authentication-standards-and-troubleshooting/
You can also contact me directly for premium support.
