Trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create discussion topic
Creates a discussion topic in a Canvas course.
Why this helps
Setting up a conversation space for a new credential pathway takes attention away from the learning work itself.
- Give a credential pathway a dedicated discussion space.
- Reuse supplied topic details without repeated manual entry.
- Keep learner conversation within the relevant Canvas course.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Accredible and Canvas once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Describe that a pathway request should create a discussion topic in its specified Canvas course using supplied topic details.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and select where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real request and a course where you have permission to create topics.
Questions about this workflow
Does this action create the Canvas course too?
No. The Canvas course must already exist and be identified in the request.
Can the workflow publish the topic?
The action supports publication settings. Specify the intended setting in the request and confirm it is appropriate for the course.
