Give new research a path into course discussion
Let a scheduled review turn selected findings into focused questions learners can explore together.

Why this helps
Research may accumulate without a clear moment to bring it into a class conversation.
- Review research findings at a regular cadence.
- Create a topic only when a result supports a meaningful discussion.
- Reduce the work of turning research into class conversation.

Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agenty and Canvas once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation that reviews available research and creates a discussion topic when useful.
- 3Pick a recurring Notis schedule for the trigger.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real result and review the topic before publishing.
Questions about this workflow
Does the schedule run the Agenty research process?
The Notis cron trigger starts the automation on a schedule. Ensure the Agenty results are available to it; no Agenty trigger event is listed.
How can I avoid repeated topics?
Provide prior topic or processed-result history if it is not available in the results, and describe how to recognize an already-used finding.
