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
Learners can miss a useful webinar when its campaign invitation is separate from their course schedule.
- Put course-relevant webinar dates alongside course events.
- Give learners a clear event description and participation context.
- Avoid re-entering invitation details by hand.
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 webinar title, time, and course context in the request.
- 4Pick a webhook as the trigger.
- 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real example.
Questions about this workflow
What starts the automation?
A webhook request starts it. The request should include the event details and the Canvas course context.
Will the automation register learners for the webinar?
No. The available Canvas action creates a calendar event; it does not register participants.
