See a scheduled pulse of course activity
Bring course activity into a recurring review without opening Canvas analytics each time.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get Course Activity
Retrieves daily activity analytics, such as page views and participation events, for a specified canvas course.
Why this helps
A course's activity signals are easy to overlook when checking them requires a separate analytics visit.
- Review returned course activity on a recurring schedule.
- Reduce context switching into analytics.
- Surface changes in the supplied activity data.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Canvas once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to fetch daily activity analytics for the supplied course and summarize the returned page views and participation events.
- 4Pick the recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real course and verify the available activity fields.
Questions about this workflow
Does this measure every kind of course engagement?
It returns daily activity analytics such as page views and participation events; the summary should stick to fields Canvas provides.
Can it compare against a target?
Only if you supply a baseline or target. Canvas activity results alone do not establish one.
