Plan with Canvas course context and web research
Start with a course question. Notis fetches the requested Canvas data and asks AgentQL to research the related topic.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Fetch Data
Retrieves a selected category of Canvas data.
Why this helps

- Bring course details into the research task
- Gather external context in the same workflow
- Prepare a concise planning brief
