Create Canvas pages for approved risk guidance

Give important guidance a stable home people can return to.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Create a page for a course

Creates a new wiki page in a specified canvas course, with options for title, html body, editing permissions, publication, and designation as front page (which also requires publication).

Why this helps

Guidance gets overlooked when it is buried in audit records or scattered messages.

  • Create a durable reference page
  • Publish approved guidance quickly
  • Reduce repeated questions

  • 1Connect your 21risk and Canvas accounts in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation named Guidance page publisher.
  • 3Tell Notis to create a Canvas course page from approved 21risk guidance, preserving summary, steps, and effective date.
  • 4Choose a notis_webhook trigger for approved guidance.
  • 5Select a report channel and test with one guidance item.
