Turn web findings into a Canvas discussion
Give Notis a topic or sources. AgentQL gathers contrasting perspectives, and Notis drafts a discussion topic for your course.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create discussion topic
Creates a discussion topic in a Canvas course.
Why this helps
A discussion prompt can take longer to shape than the research itself, especially when sources are spread across sites.
- Surface perspectives worth discussing
- Give students context and source links
- Reduce time spent drafting prompts
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AgentQL and Canvas once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by telling Notis what kind of discussion to prepare.
- 3In one instruction, name the topic or URLs and ask for an evidence-based prompt.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real topic and review the discussion topic in Canvas.
