Why this helps
Direct updates take extra effort when project details and Canvas recipients live in separate places.
- Turn supplied project context into a concise direct message.
- Reduce the effort of rewriting updates for a different audience.
- Start a conversation with specified Canvas recipients.

- 3Describe the update to send and the intended recipients in one plain-language instruction.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and report channel.
- 5Test with one real update and confirm the Canvas conversation recipients and message.
Questions about this workflow
Can recipients be guessed from the project?
No. Specify recipients or provide identifiers in the request so the conversation can be addressed correctly.
Could Canvas reuse an existing conversation?
Yes. The action may reuse a conversation with matching recipients and scope unless force new is specified.
