Put signed-workflow dates on the Canvas calendar
When a signed document establishes a course date, pass the event details to Notis and add it to the relevant Canvas calendar.
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
Dates captured during a signature process can stay buried in paperwork instead of reaching the course calendar learners check.
- Carry important dates from a signature workflow into Canvas.
- Reduce missed calendar updates after agreements are completed.
- Use supplied dates and course context to create an event.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveMerge and Canvas once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from any channel or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Canvas calendar event from the event details in each request.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real signed-workflow event request and review the calendar entry.
Questions about this workflow
Does Notis detect signatures directly in ActiveMerge?
No native ActiveMerge trigger is listed. A connected external tool or custom backend must send an HTTP request to the Notis webhook.
What should the request contain?
Include the event title, date and time, relevant Canvas context, and any other event details required for the calendar entry.
