Share the right Canvas resource after a parsed request

When parsed information points to a resource someone needs, share the Canvas content item with the intended users.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Create content share

Shares a Canvas content item with selected users.

Why this helps

Resource requests can be extracted quickly, yet sharing the right Canvas item with the right people still gets left for later.

  • Connect parsed requests to Canvas resources
  • Reduce forgotten sharing follow-ups
  • Keep sharing recipients explicit

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 requests should trigger a content share and how to identify recipients and the item.
  • 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real request and verify the selected Canvas item and recipients.

Questions about this workflow

Does Airparser identify the Canvas content item automatically?

Airparser extracts structured data from source material. Tell Notis how to identify the matching Canvas item using available data, or supply the item reference in the request.

What if a request does not name recipients clearly?

Instruct Notis to leave it for review rather than sharing with guessed users.
