Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Create Module

Why this helps

Research examples can be useful but scattered across course materials.

  • Organize research into a clear course section.
  • Make related keyword lessons easier to find.
  • Reduce manual course organization.

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 create a Canvas module with a focused title and description.
  • 4Pick a recurring Notis cron schedule and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real Ahrefs research example.

Questions about this workflow

Will the module include lesson items automatically?

This action creates a module. Ask only for supported module details and do not assume it creates pages or assignments too.

What should happen on later runs?

Specify whether each run should create a new module, if that matches your course organization.

Does Ahrefs trigger the run?

No. The recurring Notis cron schedule starts the workflow.
