Get the right Canvas resource to credential learners

When learners need a specific course resource for a credential, share the existing Canvas item with the users named in the request.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Create content share

Shares a Canvas content item with selected users.

Why this helps

Learners can earn or pursue a credential without realizing there is a useful course resource available to them.

  • Connect credential learners with relevant existing content.
  • Share to specified users without repeating manual steps.
  • Keep the resource in Canvas.

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 which existing Canvas item to share and provide the valid recipient user IDs in the request.
  • 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and select where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real request and confirm the recipients can access the shared item.

Questions about this workflow

Does this create the resource?

No. The Canvas content item must already exist and be identified in the request.

Can the automation choose learners based on certificate records?

Only when the request supplies the recipient identities or those identities are available in the data Notis can access.
