Trying something out. Ideally, we'll get some nice IA 'recipes', but just to start something (to kick off the conversation)…

'Recipes' range from simple to complex, and (in case you prefer), I'm also including pseudocode format -

    • Attach multiple Assignments > No submission to folder conditions (one for each assignment).
    • Set “Any condition must be met.”
    • Note: D2L does not natively count missed assignments, so you may need to run separate agents for each threshold or use Data Hub for more advanced logic.
  7. Actions > Send an Email:
    • To: {Instructors}
    • Subject: “Student Missed Multiple Assignments”
    • Body: “{FirstName} {LastName} has missed multiple assignments. Please review their progress.”
  8. Scheduling: Weekly
  9. Save and enable.

And some tips for more Advanced Logic…

  • Use “All conditions must be met” for AND logic; “Any condition must be met” for OR logic.
  • For more complex scenarios (e.g., counting missed assignments), consider supplementing with Data Hub exports or custom scripts.

    P.S. - Data Hub's really more in Admins' wheelhouse, but if you're an instructor, you can chat with your Admin Team to see what can be arranged
