Keep learning milestones visible on the Canvas calendar

Bring important milestone dates into the course calendar so learners can see what is coming.

Trigger

Action

Create Calendar Event

Creates a calendar event, optionally as a recurring series.

Why this helps

Milestones in project tracking are easy to overlook when learners rely on a separate course calendar.

  • Put important milestone details where learners check course dates.
  • Reduce manual calendar entry.
  • Use a repeatable scheduled check for supplied milestone context.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Agiled and Canvas once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, with a name and prompt.
  • 3Describe how to create a Canvas calendar event from the supplied milestone details in one instruction.
  • 4Choose a Notis cron schedule and report channel.
  • 5Test with one real milestone and verify its date and context in Canvas.

Questions about this workflow

Can the automation create recurring calendar events?

The Canvas action supports finite recurrence settings. Include the intended recurrence details when needed.

Will it know milestone dates that are not supplied?

No. Dates must be present in the returned Agiled data or provided as input.
