Find dated milestones in your published course information and make them visible on the Canvas calendar.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create Calendar Event
Creates a calendar event, optionally as a recurring series.
Why this helps
Milestone dates can be buried in long course pages and missed by learners who rely on their calendar.
- Make upcoming milestones easier to find
- Reduce repeated calendar entry
- Avoid guessing dates by requiring source-backed timing
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agility CMS and Canvas once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to find upcoming milestones with explicit dates and create Canvas calendar events, reporting unclear entries for review.
- 4Choose notis_cron and set a recurring schedule appropriate for your course.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one dated milestone.
