Nudge Canvas owners about open controls
Give owners a short prompt that makes the next response obvious.
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
Open controls linger when reminders lack context or arrive after the deadline.
- Reduce ambiguous reminders
- Include the exact next step
- Keep follow-up tied to the control
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your 21risk and Canvas accounts in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Control owner nudge.
- 3Tell Notis to send a Canvas conversation for an open 21risk control, including status, evidence needed, and requested response date.
- 4Choose a notis_webhook trigger for owner-nudge payloads.
- 5Select a report channel and test with one open control.
Questions about this workflow
