Notis

Share course content without hunting for recipients

Send an approved sharing request and let Notis deliver the Canvas content to the listed reviewers.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Create content share

Shares a canvas content item to specified users, if the sender has necessary permissions and receiver ids are valid.

Why this helps

Review cycles slow down when content sharing requires repeated recipient searches.

  • Speeds review handoffs
  • Keeps recipient lists explicit
  • Reduces sharing mistakes

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect 0CodeKit and Canvas in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation named Share course content with reviewers.
  • 3Tell Notis to share the specified Canvas content item with the approved recipient identifiers in each webhook request.
  • 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real review request.

Questions about this workflow

Can sharing be limited to approved recipients?

Yes. Require Notis to use only the recipients supplied in the request.

What if a recipient id is invalid?

Instruct Notis to report the invalid identifier and stop the share.
