Trigger

Why this helps
Document review can slip behind urgent work when there is no time set aside for it.
- Make recurring review time visible.
- Reduce the effort of adding calendar blocks manually.
- Create a reminder to process document work.

- 1Connect Canvas once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Canvas calendar event for the document review block with the intended timing.
- 4Choose the recurring schedule trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real event and verify its time and context.
Questions about this workflow
Does this event include Affinda document details?
Only if you supply those details to Notis. This scheduled workflow creates a time block and does not retrieve documents from Affinda.
Can this create a repeating event?
The Canvas event action supports finite recurrence series. Specify recurrence only if you want a finite series.
