Building block · local_lernhive_notifications

Less noise, more signal.

A digest layer over platform notifications: summarise, prioritise, deliver — per channel and per user.

Overview

Notifications people actually read.

Instead of ten single emails per day: a tidy digest. The building block reuses the platform's notification providers, channels and user preferences, and adds a summarisation layer and a clearer UI on top.

How it works

How the digest is assembled.

  1. Collect

    Every incoming notification passes the filter and lands in the queue.

  2. Group

    Messages are grouped by provider and context.

  3. Deliver

    At the configured moment, LernHive sends the grouped digests — daily, weekly or on a custom interval.

  4. Acknowledge or ignore

    Reading marks automatically; ignoring moves entries to 'done'.

Digest instead of flood

Better one good notification every four hours than four bad ones every hour.

Compatible with anything that sends messages

No parallel provider layer — just one on top. Compatible with anything that emits messages into the platform.

FAQ

Common questions.

Will I lose messages because of the digest?

No. Each message remains individually accessible on Moodle's notifications page — the digest only bundles delivery.

Does the building block work with third-party providers?

Yes. Every provider hooked into the platform's messaging API is captured.

Can I disable digests?

Yes, per provider: instant delivery remains available. The user decides.
