Create Canvas modules for risk programs

Give a multi-step compliance program a clear path through Canvas.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Create Module

Creates a new organizational module within a specified canvas lms course, with options for availability, sequencing, and prerequisites.

Why this helps

Related controls and tasks feel disconnected when there is no shared sequence or home.

  • Create a clear learning path
  • Group related controls
  • Reduce navigation friction

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect your 21risk and Canvas accounts in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation named Risk program module.
  • 3Tell Notis to create a Canvas module for the 21risk program, using its sequence, availability, and prerequisites when supplied.
  • 4Choose a notis_webhook trigger for a new program payload.
  • 5Select a report channel and test with one program.

Questions about this workflow

Can it set prerequisites?

Yes, when valid Canvas prerequisite details are included.

Does it add module items too?

This action creates the module; item creation requires a separate supported workflow.
