Why this helps

Planning from research alone can miss the purpose and setup of the course it is meant to support.

  • Bring relevant course context into a research report.
  • Make planning summaries more specific to the course.
  • Reduce manual context gathering.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Ahrefs and Canvas once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Ask Notis in one instruction to review available Ahrefs research and fetch the specified Canvas course details for a concise planning report.
  • 4Pick a recurring Notis cron schedule and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real course and research example.

Questions about this workflow

What does Fetch Data require?

The action requires exactly one data category flag to be selected and any related identifiers; the instruction should identify the course details to retrieve.

Does this update the course?

No. The selected action fetches Canvas data for a report.

Can it propose a learning activity?

Yes, if the prompt asks for a proposal based on the returned course context and Ahrefs findings.
