Keep course calendars in step with campaign launches
When a launch matters to a course, send its details to Notis and place a reminder on the 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
Launch dates and course schedules live in different places, making it easy to miss a relevant moment.
- Put a relevant campaign date where course participants already check dates.
- Reduce manual calendar entry for launches that affect a course.
- Use the supplied launch details to create a clear event.
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 create a Canvas calendar event from the campaign name, date, and course context sent in the request.
- 4Pick a webhook as the trigger.
- 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real example.
Questions about this workflow
