Keep Canvas course pages current with Agility CMS updates
Publish course information once in Agility CMS and have Notis prepare the matching Canvas page when your webhook arrives.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create a page for a course
Creates a wiki page in a Canvas course.
Why this helps
Course updates can get published in the CMS while the Canvas page stays stale, leaving learners to search for the latest information.
- Reduce duplicate publishing work
- Keep course information easier to find
- Use Notis to summarize content for learners
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 create or update a Canvas course page from the published Agility content and include a learner-friendly summary.
- 4Choose notis_webhook as the trigger and provide the webhook endpoint to your publishing process.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real course update.
Questions about this workflow
Does Agility CMS provide the trigger for this automation?
No. Agility CMS has no trigger events in this setup. A webhook request starts the Notis automation, so have your publishing process call the Notis webhook.
Can Notis make the update easier to understand?
Yes. Include the desired summary style in your instruction. Notis can use the returned CMS content, but any information absent from that content must be supplied separately.
