Using Automatic Notifications to Track To-Do and Certification Progress

To track user To-Do and certification progress without manually running a report, Veelo's automatic notification options will email you and other managers with your team's information. There are two types of notifications you can opt in for:

1. Real-time manager notifications, which are emailed you and other Veelo managers as soon as a user meets certain criteria, e.g., earned a certificate, or failed an exam.
2. Summary reports that include what your users have completed at specific intervals, e.g., weekly, or monthly.

This article will walk through the basic process of setting up these notifications, as well as provide an overview of the notifications and reports.

Real-Time Manager Notifications
