Automated notifications and powerful completion logic for better course workflows

If it doesn't then a trick that I use for similar scenarios, is set a date restriction on the pulse that is somewhen in the past, and set the completion as 'complete when available'. When a user is enrolled onto the course by any means, because the restriction has been met - that item is the marked as complete in the activity completion (I use this as a way of getting their date of first enrolment on the course). I am assuming that the pulse invitation would be sent at the same time as the activity completion.
With line manager notifications/approvals, is this MWP aware (as in using org structures in there, or something else mapping user relaitonships?
Thanks

1) If your SCORMs are graded, you could add a grade item into the gardebook called course completion, and using the grade calculation mechanism and a few nested if statements you could work out a percentage completion for the course - and then use that grade item as the trigger for the pulse.
2) Slightly easier approach but not quite as tidy. If you use the 'checklist' plugin, add a checklist into the course, add the SCORMs into the checklist, and set the checklist to be complete once 50% are completed. You then use the completion of the checklist to trigger the pulse. It won't matter what order they complete the scorms.
I am currently running a course that consists of several lessons delivered as SCORM packages. However, my students are not progressing in a strict sequential order—they might complete lesson 1, then jump to lesson 4, and later complete lesson 8, for example.
To encourage further progress, I would like to send a notification once students have completed approximately 50% of the course activities. I have installed the Pulse plugin, but it appears that its notification triggers rely on the completion of specific activities. This setup does not work for my course structure where activities are completed randomly.
Is there a way within Moodle or via an additional plugin/configuration to trigger a notification once 50% of the activities in a course have been completed? Alternatively, do you have any suggestions on how I might implement a custom solution to achieve this?
