Course Assessment Emails for Quizzes and Assignments

By Sparkforge Support Team ·Last reviewed May 3, 2026

Course Assessment Emails are automated notifications for quiz submissions, assignment submissions and grading, and course comments. Customize or disable each one under Memberships > Client Portal > Settings.

Course Assessment Emails are automated notifications Sparkforge sends when learners submit work, receive grades, or post comments. They keep learners and instructors aligned without manual follow-up.

What gets emailed

Quiz emails

Quiz Submitted (User): confirmation to the learner after submitting a quiz.
Quiz Submitted (Admin): alert to instructors or course admins when a quiz is submitted.

Assignment emails

Assignment Submitted (User): confirms the learner's upload was received.
Assignment Submitted (Admin): alerts instructors that new work is ready to review.
Assignment Graded (User): sends grading details, scores, or pass/fail results.
Assignment Graded (Admin): notifies admins that grading is complete.

Course comments

Course Comments (Admin): notifies instructors when a learner comments on course content.

Why these emails matter

Real-time learner feedback: students immediately see submission and grade confirmations.
Instructor visibility: admins are pinged the moment new work is submitted or graded.
Brand consistency: templates are fully editable in Email Settings.
Course-level control: each notification can be toggled on or off per course.

How to customize a template

Go to Memberships > Client Portal > Settings.
Open the Email Settings section and choose Courses.
Pick the assessment email you want to edit (Quiz Submitted, Assignment Graded, etc.).
Adjust the subject line, body, and merge fields like course name, assessment title, and grading status.
Save your changes. Updates apply per course based on your toggle settings.

How to disable a notification

Inside the same settings panel, switch the relevant template OFF. The email stops firing for that course while in-app activity continues to log normally.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I customize the wording per course?

Yes. Each course's assessment emails can be edited individually in Memberships > Client Portal > Settings, including subject lines, body content, and merge fields.

What variables can I include in the templates?

Templates support contextual fields like course name, assessment title, grading status, learner name, and score. Use the merge field picker in the editor to insert them.

Can I turn off a single email type?

Yes. Each Course Assessment Email has its own ON/OFF toggle, so you can disable one (like the admin quiz alert) while keeping others active.

Do learners get an email when their assignment is graded?

Yes. The Assignment Graded (User) email sends grading details automatically, including scores or pass/fail outcomes, as soon as grading is recorded.

Are admins notified for every learner comment?

When the Course Comments (Admin) email is enabled, instructors are notified the moment a learner posts a comment on course content.
