Send the right Canvas follow up
Turn a verified event into a clear, personal Canvas message while the context is still available.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create conversation
Use to send messages in canvas by creating a new conversation or adding to an existing one; an existing conversation with the same recipients (and matching scope/filter, if specified) may be reused unless `force new` is true.
Why this helps
Follow up messages are delayed when the sender has to reconstruct context manually.
- Shortens response time
- Keeps messages contextual
- Reduces copy and paste work
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect 0CodeKit and Canvas in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Send student follow up.
- 3Tell Notis to draft or send a Canvas conversation using the webhook context and specified recipients.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real follow up case.
Questions about this workflow
Can I require approval before sending?
Yes. Instruct Notis to return a draft for review instead of sending immediately.
What recipient data is needed?
