Create a Canvas folder from an AI request
Keep course materials organized by turning a folder request into a Canvas folder in the right context.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Folder
Creates a folder in Canvas to organize files.
Why this helps
Files become harder to find when there is no agreed folder structure for course materials.
- Create a place for materials before uploading or sharing them.
- Use the existing context and parent folder named in the request.
- Avoid duplicate or misplaced folder creation through explicit instructions.
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 named Canvas folder in the specified context, using either a parent folder id or path when provided.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real folder request and check its location in Canvas.
Questions about this workflow
Can I identify a parent folder by both id and path?
No. Specify an existing parent folder by id or path, not both.
Does this upload files into the folder?
No. This workflow creates the folder. Uploading or copying files requires a separate supported action.
