Why this helps
Useful campaign themes can get buried in reports before they become relevant course conversations.
- Translate engagement themes into a course conversation prompt.
- Reduce the gap between reviewing campaign results and using them in teaching.
- Keep the discussion grounded in the report data provided to Notis.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveTrail and Canvas once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to review the latest campaign results and draft a discussion prompt grounded in the strongest relevant theme.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule as the trigger.
- 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real campaign example.
Questions about this workflow
Does this trigger automatically detect a campaign event?
No. ActiveTrail has no listed trigger events here, so this workflow runs on a Notis schedule and reviews data available through the connected app.
Will it publish the discussion?
The selected Canvas action creates a discussion entry. Instruct Notis to confirm the course and topic before posting, and test with a real example.
