Why Nice Notification

Course communication that is focused, reusable, and timely

Reach the learners who need a message, personalise the content, choose how it is delivered, and keep a clear record of what was sent.

Instant notifications

Search, filter, select, preview, and send personalised messages to course participants from one guided workflow.

Automated reminders

Create scheduled or activity-based notification rules for access, progress, views, and supported submissions.

Flexible delivery

Use email, Moodle notifications, or both, with Moodle App push available when the site and recipient are configured for it.

Reusable messaging

Save message templates, use personalisation tokens, and choose Moodle default or an authorised custom sender account.

Inside the plugin

Try the workflow. Switch, create, and explore.

The preview below simulates the course plugin interface. Switch between Instant and Automated notifications, open each composer, move through the Instant notification steps, and explore the same workflow your course users see.
