Trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create an assignment

Why this helps
Training follow-ups compete with daily project work, so upcoming needs can go unnoticed until the last minute.
- Review upcoming project training needs on a predictable schedule.
- Create assignments only when the project and training details are clear.
- Reduce the mental load of remembering to check each project manually.
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 review upcoming Acculynx projects for actionable training needs and create Canvas assignments using the supplied course and instructions.
- 4Choose the Notis recurring schedule trigger and set the review cadence.
- 5Run one test with a real upcoming project and review the report and assignment.
Questions about this workflow
What does the schedule trigger do?
It starts the workflow on a recurring schedule. In the instruction, specify which upcoming Acculynx project records to review and how far ahead to look.
What if a project does not identify its course or training instructions?
Notis should report that the details are missing rather than guess. Provide the course and instructions in Acculynx or in the automation instruction.
Can this guarantee assignments are not duplicated?
The listed Canvas action creates assignments, and no assignment search or deduplication action is specified here. Set a clear review window and provide a reliable way to identify items already handled if your connected data supports it.
