- Create a course page from a single instruction.
- Reduce copy and paste between tools.

- 1Connect Abstract and Canvas once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and provide a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to process the supplied page content with Abstract and create a Canvas course page using the provided course and page details.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real page request and check the created page in Canvas.
