Why this helps
When account access changes or spans several areas, it can be easy to forget what is available to your user.
- Make the accessible account list quick to review.
- Reduce repeated manual navigation in Canvas.
- Keep a recurring check visible through run reports.

Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve accessible Canvas accounts and summarize the returned list.
- 4Choose the recurring schedule trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test once and confirm the returned accounts match what you expect.
Questions about this workflow
Does this change Canvas access?
No. The action retrieves accounts accessible to the authenticated user; it does not change permissions.
Can it compare with last week's list?
Only if the previous list is provided or otherwise available to Notis. The action itself returns the current accessible accounts.
