## Notes

- **Async processing:** The request is queued, and the response returns process IDs you use to check the result.
- **Validation:** Provide either the Mindtickle user IDs or the usernames, not a mix of both.
- **Usernames:** When you provide usernames, provide the username of each user if UID is enabled for your Mindtickle instance, and their email address if UID is not enabled.
