Event Trigger

Administration tools ::: tool_trigger
Maintained by Catalyst IT
This plugin plugin allows site administrators to trigger external actions such as an http request or email when certain events happen in Moodle. Filters can be added to check if the event meets certain conditions and actions(email/http post) can include information contained within the Moodle event. Lookups can also be added to the workflow to allow information not contained within the Moodle event to be exposed to the external action.

Event Trigger

The Event Trigger allows Moodle Events to be monitored and a workflow to be triggered when that event occurs.
One of the main use cases of this plugin is to allow Moodle events to trigger actions in external systems.

Each workflow is made up of a series of steps. Steps can be things like: * Using event data to lookup user and course information * Filtering data based on a set of conditions * Performing an action like sending an email or Posting data to a HTTP endpoint or external API.

The plugin is designed to be extensible and contributions are welcome to extend the available actions.
