Why this helps
Creating a course after a cohort is announced can delay the first learning steps.
- Create a course space from cohort planning context.
- Reduce repeated course setup work.
- Give instructors a place to organize learning as a cohort begins.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveCampaign and Canvas once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe which cohort details should create a course.
- 3Choose a notis_cron schedule to check for matching campaign context.
- 4Choose where run reports go, then test with one real cohort plan.
Questions about this workflow
Can this run immediately when a campaign changes?
ActiveCampaign trigger events are not available here. The workflow uses a Notis recurring schedule.
What information is needed to create a course?
The prompt should identify the relevant cohort context and the course details to use. Canvas permissions and required course information still apply.
