LearnDash Notifications attaches automated emails to course events through the sfwd-notifications post type. Each notification post stores its trigger (course completed, quiz failed, lesson started, group enrolment) in _ld_notifications_* postmeta, and the underlying course event itself lives in learndash_user_activity as a row with an activity_type and activity_status. The plugin's own admin lists the notifications but never visualises how often they fire or which courses dominate the volume.

SleekView Charts reads both sides. The notification configuration table joins to the activity log via the trigger mapping, and a chart card can count firings per trigger, per course, per day. Where a team runs forty notifications across a six-course catalogue, the dashboard reveals that two notifications produce 78 percent of all firings while half the configured notifications never trigger at all.

That picture is the difference between guessing whether the notification configuration is working and seeing it. A monthly review takes thirty seconds. A course launch that should have produced a wave of welcome-notification firings shows up as a step change on the area card, or its absence does. SleekView Charts is a configuration tool with no scheduled jobs and no separate analytics store, just live reads against the LearnDash tables.

LearnDash Notifications quietly drives most of the operational email a course site sends. When the configuration works, learners receive welcomes, reminders and certificates at the right moment and nobody thinks about it. When the configuration breaks because of a renamed activity_type, a deactivated trigger or a content change that moved the event under a different course, the silence is the only signal anything is wrong.

Putting firing volume on a dashboard inside WP Admin, next to the sfwd-notifications post list and the underlying learndash_user_activity rows, turns silent automation into visible automation. The team sees in seconds whether the configuration is doing its job, broken triggers surface on the chart rather than in a support ticket, and the monthly review is a glance rather than a guess. Same data the plugin already writes, dramatically more operational confidence.
