Keep parsed contact methods available in Canvas
When a source document provides a new contact method, add it as a Canvas communication channel for the right user.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create communication channel
Creates a communication channel for a Canvas user to receive notifications.
Why this helps
Contact details extracted from forms and messages can be useful but still need a manual update in Canvas.
- Reduce manual entry of contact methods
- Keep communication details with the Canvas user
- Route parsed contact updates into an existing account
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airparser and Canvas once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3Describe which parsed contact details should be added and how to identify the existing Canvas user.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real contact update and verify the channel on the Canvas user.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a Canvas user?
No. The action creates a communication channel for an existing Canvas user. The user must be identified and already exist.
What if the parsed contact detail is incomplete?
Instruct Notis to skip the update and report missing or ambiguous information for review.
