Create a Canvas conversation from an AI request
Give Notis a message and its intended recipients to start or continue a Canvas conversation.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create conversation
Sends messages by starting a Canvas conversation or adding to an existing one.
Why this helps
Important course messages can be delayed when recipient lists and message drafts live in different places.
- Reduce repeated copying of prepared messages into Canvas.
- Keep recipients and message purpose together in the request.
- Use the specified scope or filters when supplied.
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 conversation using only the supplied message, recipients, and any requested scope or new-thread preference.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and verify the recipients and conversation in Canvas.
Questions about this workflow
Will this always start a new conversation?
Canvas may reuse an existing conversation with matching recipients unless the request specifies that a new thread is needed and the action supports that option.
What if a recipient is ambiguous?
Tell Notis to ask for clarification rather than selecting a person based on an uncertain name.
