The automated communication engine, A.C.E. for short, is a Django app for messaging learners on the Open edX platform. This app can be installed in any Open edX project, but has only been tested with edx-platform. Email delivery (via Sailthru and Django Email) are the currently supported delivery channels. In the future we may add support for other delivery channels such as push notifications.

For instructions on starting local development, see Getting Started.
