Put dated course notices on the Canvas calendar
Let a dated notice become a calendar reminder where learners already check course activity.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Calendar Event
Creates a calendar event, optionally as a recurring series.
Why this helps
Dates in published notices are easy to overlook when they never make it onto the course calendar.
- Make important dates easier to notice
- Avoid retyping event context
- Flag incomplete date or time information
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 a Canvas calendar event only when the notice provides a usable date, time, and event context.
- 4Choose notis_webhook as the trigger and connect your notice publishing process to its endpoint.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one notice containing an event date.
Questions about this workflow
What if a notice has a date but no time?
Tell Notis to report missing details for review instead of guessing. Calendar events need usable timing information.
Can this create a repeating event series?
The Canvas action supports finite recurrence options. Describe a recurrence only when the source or your instruction supplies the schedule.
