Aside from enrollments, what are you automating?

Question

Hi!We’re currently looking for ideas on what can be fairly easily automated in Docebo, so I wanted to start a discussion - aside from the standard enrollments, notifications, and user-creation, what are you automating in your LMS and how?Currently, we’re thinking about using API to automate some of the following:Archiving course progress on an annual basis (in a few of our courses)	Enrolling users, e.g. managers to Sick Leave Management training based on whether their team members have many absences	Enrolling users, e.g. based on whether they have team members in a specific country	Automatically approving Reward Requests and sending out emails depending on the reward	Automatically declining Reward Requests if a user requested it too many times (e.g. we have a reward for an Additional Day Off that’s limited to 2 per year and currently, it requires checking this manually)What are some of your ideas?Are you using the Automation feature?Any ideas for using API for automating things?Anything out of the ordinary or any interesting cases?

Hi ​@abartunek- the key statement here is “fairly easily”. I think of automation a bit more broadly, than something I do not need to touch for it to work.One example is building ILT Courses / Sessions / Events. I try to standardize the settings and then I can use API / Postman and a CSV to load specific values / settings / instructors into the ILT and build a whole years worth at once.If we decide to implement new standards for our course codes, I will use a similar process to bulk update course codes or many other course settings.If I need to build 5 of something, I usually don’t bother. But if it is 50 or more, then I am going to look for a solution to “automate” it. I can then tweak that solution at a later date to resolve a separate problem.We do have Docebo Connect, primarily for Outlook RSVP. But it 2026 I plan on looking at it for additional automation solutions since it can use look-up-tables and other handy elements.

Still haven't found what you're looking for?
