Create a Canvas course from an AI brief
Give Notis the course setup details once and have it create the Canvas course shell.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create a course
Creates a course in a Canvas account.
Why this helps
Setting up a course shell means re-entering details that may already be settled in a planning brief.
- Reduce manual entry during course shell setup.
- Keep the course configuration grounded in the supplied brief.
- Surface missing account or configuration details before creation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ai ml api and Canvas once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Canvas course only from the account and configuration details in the submitted brief, asking about required missing values.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real course brief and confirm the created course in Canvas.
Questions about this workflow
Can it decide which account to use?
The request should name the appropriate account or define an unambiguous selection rule. Notis should ask when the account is unclear.
Will it populate the course with assignments too?
This action creates the course. Assignments and other course content require separate actions.
