Send contact quality issues to Canvas staff
When a new contact record arrives, check it and raise a Canvas notification if the result needs a person to take a closer look.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create account notification
Creates a notification for the Canvas account.
Why this helps
A questionable email or phone number can sit unnoticed until an important course message fails to reach someone.
- Bring records needing attention to Canvas staff through an account notification.
- Reduce manual checking across separate services.
- Use a clear alert for details that are invalid or uncertain.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Addressfinder and Canvas once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what outcome you want from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to verify the webhook's contact details and create a Canvas account notification only when the result needs review.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and check the notification dates and eligible roles.
Questions about this workflow
Does every webhook create a notification?
The instruction can ask Notis to create one only when checks indicate a contact needs review. The notification action requires valid start and end dates and any specified roles must be valid.
Does this send a message to the contact?
No. It creates a global Canvas account notification for eligible users, not an email or text to the contact.
What data should the webhook include?
Include the contact details to check and enough context for Notis to create a useful notification. Addressfinder has no native trigger event in this package.
