Put project training milestones on the Canvas calendar
Turn a project milestone into a visible training date, with the context people need to prepare.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Calendar Event
Creates a calendar event, optionally as a recurring series.
Why this helps
Training dates can be overlooked when project milestones and course schedules live in separate systems.
- Create a course calendar event from a project milestone handoff.
- Keep session timing and project context together.
- Reduce manual calendar entry and missed preparation dates.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Acculynx and Canvas once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose a name and report channel.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Canvas calendar event using the milestone date, course, and session details in each request.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and configure the external system to send a request when a training milestone is confirmed.
- 5Test with one real milestone and review the Canvas event.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis infer the training date if it is missing?
No. The date must be supplied by the request or available from connected app data. The Canvas action needs event timing details.
Can the event repeat?
The action supports finite recurring event series. Specify the recurrence details in your instruction when they are supplied and needed.
Does Acculynx send the milestone trigger directly?
No Acculynx trigger event is listed. An external system must send an HTTP request to the Notis webhook.
