Turn operational alerts into Canvas notifications
Send a verified alert and let Notis create a clear account notification with the right audience and dates.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create account notification
Creates a global notification within a canvas account, ensuring `end at` is after `start at` and any specified `notification roles` are valid.
Why this helps
Important account notices are delayed when publishing requires manual reconstruction of timing and roles.
- Speeds urgent communication
- Validates notification timing
- Keeps audience rules explicit
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect 0CodeKit and Canvas in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Send account notification request.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Canvas account notification from each approved webhook alert and validate dates and notification roles.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real alert.
Questions about this workflow
Can it reject invalid timing?
Yes. The workflow can stop and report when the end time is not after the start time.
Can roles be constrained?
