Notis

Give curated web resources a place in Canvas

Turn a useful batch of findings into an organized folder learners or collaborators can find again.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Create Folder

Creates a folder in Canvas to organize files.

Why this helps

Curated resources are harder to reuse when they stay spread across reports and browser tabs.

  • Create a folder to organize a curated set of resources.
  • Keep research grouped within a specified Canvas context.
  • Reduce repeated searching for useful material.

  • 1Connect Agenty and Canvas once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation that reviews available findings and creates a folder when a useful collection is identified.
  • 3Pick a recurring Notis schedule for the trigger.
  • 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
  • 5Test with one collection and verify the existing context and folder details.
