Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action

Why this helps
Manually turning location-related requests into course calendar entries creates extra context switching and missed reminders.
- Create relevant course calendar entries from a webhook request.
- Apply your stated timing and course context rules.
- Reduce manual copying from a location workflow into Canvas.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Addresszen and Canvas once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis which verified location requests warrant a calendar event and how to use the supplied event details and scheduling rules.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and confirm the Canvas calendar event.
