Digest of Social Comments

Configure email notification delivery schedules and summary types for new comments and replies

About

The Social Comments block uses an automated notification system to send summarized email updates to subscribed users. You can choose to send either a single digest for the entire site or separate digests for each individual course. This notification system depends on a Moodle scheduled task to process and deliver the updates based on your preferred interval.


Scheduled task configuration

To change how often notifications are processed and sent, administrators must adjust the scheduling properties of the background task.

You can find and modify this interval by navigating to Site administration > Server > Scheduled tasks and locating the following processing task: \block_socialcomments\task\process_digest_cron

Depending on your needs, you can configure the task to run every few minutes for quick updates or once a day for a daily summary.


Note: You can configure the specific digest type and limit how many users are processed during each task execution in the global settings.
