# How to Add Quick Actions to Courses

Course quick actions allow you to set up automated workflows triggered by specific events in your courses. This feature helps streamline course management and enhance student engagement.

![Quick Actions icon in courses Overview](https://cdn.document360.io/e3762771-4bea-47c2-a830-5473d543417a/Images/Documentation/ciocpdehoz0hwkmsg8em_dzrexsb20pmqq.png)

You can add quick actions at three levels:

1. Course level
2. Module level
3. Lesson level

Once you set up a quick action, it will automatically run when the specified trigger event occurs. This allows you to automate tasks like sending congratulatory emails or unlocking bonus content. In this article, you’ll learn how to set up, manage, and effectively use Course Quick Actions to optimize your course management and student engagement.
