Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create a page for a course

Why this helps
Useful instructions can remain buried in documents instead of being available where people need to follow them.
- Make extracted process guidance easier to access.
- Cut down on manual rewriting of document content.
- Give course participants a central reference page.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda and Canvas once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a Canvas course page from process details sent to the webhook.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real process document and check the page content before relying on it.
Questions about this workflow
Does this publish a page automatically?
The listed Canvas action creates a page and supports publication options. Your instruction should say whether the page should be published.
Can it choose the course?
Include the course context in the webhook data or instruction. Notis cannot select an unspecified course.
