Note: You cannot receive a daily success notification email for "Immediate" sync. This option is only available for "Daily" sync.
Note: If you toggle on "Immediate" sync after assignments have already been completed in Hawkes, grades will not retroactively sync. Please perform a manual sync to capture these assignment grades.
