Get a recurring digest of selected Canvas data
Choose the Canvas data you need to revisit and let Notis bring back a compact scheduled summary.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Fetch Data
Retrieves a selected category of Canvas data.
Why this helps
Looking up the same course or account information repeatedly interrupts focused work and makes routine checks easy to postpone.
- Automate a recurring lookup of selected Canvas data.
- Reduce context switching for routine course or account checks.
- Get a readable summary of the data returned by Canvas.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from any channel or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis which single data category to fetch and what details to summarize.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real lookup and review the returned data summary.
Questions about this workflow
Can this fetch several data categories in one action?
The Fetch Data action requires exactly one get-category flag to be true. Choose one category for this automation.
What if the category has many records?
The action supports pagination, with up to 100 records per page. Specify the relevant identifiers and review whether additional pages are needed.
