Send collaborators a concise research brief in Canvas
Give collaborators a short, useful view of new findings without asking them to sift through monitoring output.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create conversation
Sends messages by starting a Canvas conversation or adding to an existing one.
Why this helps
A long list of findings can make it hard for collaborators to spot what needs attention.
- Summarize available findings for collaborators.
- Put the brief in a Canvas conversation with specified recipients.
- Reduce the need to forward and explain research manually.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agenty and Canvas once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation that summarizes available findings and prepares a Canvas conversation for supplied recipients.
- 3Pick a recurring Notis schedule for the trigger.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one set of findings and confirm the summary and recipients.
Questions about this workflow
Will it create a new conversation every time?
The Canvas action may reuse a matching conversation unless configured to force a new one. Describe the intended threading behavior in your instruction.
What if there are no new results?
Tell the automation to avoid sending an empty brief. Provide history or a baseline if newness cannot be determined from the results.
