Questions about this workflow
Does Affinity provide a trigger for this workflow?
No. Start it with a Notis webhook when a request should initiate the workflow.
Can Notis choose which course to post in automatically?
The prompt can use course context you provide. Canvas course selection details must be available to Notis or included in your instruction.
