My University has a custom chatbot active for most of the University's CMS sites. I believe it is based on the Gravyty Ivy chatbot product. Does anyone know if a chatbot similar to this can be added to Catalog? I believe it is connected to a website with a Javascript snippet added to pages to make it available. I am still…
Hello, My team wants to generate a large number of promotion codes in the system. Is this possible with a csv or via an API? They said this was available years ago, but something may have changed. Thank you!
Regardless of whether or not it's a good idea, does anyone know if it's possible to have a pop-up on a catalog/sub-catalog page? Our marketing folks are asking me. They'd like a pop-up that allows visitors to "let us know if you'd like more information" with a link to a request for information form that resides on our…
Has anyone heard anything about video embedding being on the roadmap for course listings? I have multiple sub-catalog owners wanting this feature for marketing purposes.

There is no link to the Course site though. This is not a great user experience. We would actually be better providing the Self Enrol link for…
I want to add several fields to the user registration for one specific course. Right now, I only see a way to create user defined fields that apply to all courses in the sub-catalog. There are registrations happening for two different courses at the same time that require different UDFs. Am I missing something or is this…
We created a listing in Catalog with a cap of 12 students. However, Catalog allowed 13/12 students to purchase spots in the listing. Any idea if I set something up wrong or what may have happened? A student that was on the waitlist was notified a spot opened up and that's how the 13th spot was filled, but there's no…
