Is your email inbox littered with Moodle notifications?
Get rid of them!
If this is the case, you can create ‘rules’ to
automatically send these messages to a folder
without you having to read them.
This is good if you receive a lot of notifications,
maybe you have been ‘attached’ to many
Moodle pages.
When you need to access the notifications, just
click on the folder that you have created.

Creating ‘Rules’
With assignment notifications this is very easy.
Most of these have very similar wording, for
example:
‘Fred Bloggs has updated their submission for
assignment…………… blah, blah’
You can make a ‘rule’ for the words that always
appear in each notification, i.e. ‘has updated
their submission for ‘

Click on the
Folder tab.

2
Select New
Folder.

3

In the dialogue box,
give your new folder a
name, for example:
‘Assignment
Notifications’. Then
click OK.

Next, you need to
‘right click’ on an
email of the type
you want to get rid
of.

5
Click on Rules
and then click
on Create Rule.
Lisa Perry

5
Select the option 6
‘subject contains’.

Next, paste or type in the 7
text that is common to all
the notifications you want to
put away in a folder.

Select the folder you
created earlier (step 3).
Click OK.

You will
receive this
‘success’
message.
11
Check the ‘Run
this rule now on
messages already in
the current folder’.

12
Click OK
Lisa Perry

9
That’s it!

Lisa Perry

10
Now you should no longer have a cluttered
inbox. The assignment notifications will go
directly into the folder you created.
For forum notifications from Moodle, you need
to find something common to all, or most of the
messages. Maybe the first few letters of the
course code would be a good ‘rule’ to use.
