Give learners a focused discussion prompt based on project context you already track in Agiled.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create discussion topic
Creates a discussion topic in a Canvas course.
Why this helps
Discussion prompts often get delayed while instructors search project notes for a useful, teachable question.
- Create a discussion topic on a predictable schedule.
- Convert project context into a learner-facing question.
- Reduce the effort of starting a course discussion from scratch.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agiled and Canvas once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and enter its name and prompt.
- 3Describe the project context to use and the kind of Canvas discussion topic to create in one instruction.
- 4Choose a Notis cron schedule and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real project example and check the resulting discussion topic.
Questions about this workflow
Will the schedule discover project history that Agiled does not return?
No. The automation can only use returned data or context you provide in its instruction or input.
Can I choose how often it runs?
Yes. Choose the Notis cron schedule when setting up the automation.
