- Reduce manual handling of routine enrollment requests.

- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to validate the supplied email with Abstract and create the Canvas enrollment from the provided user, course, role, and status details.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real, authorized enrollment request.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow choose the enrollment role?
The request should specify the intended role and status. Notis should not guess them.
Are there special enrollment requirements?
Canvas requires a valid user, course, role, and status. Observer enrollments also require an associated user id.
