Why this helps
A course called out in a parsed notice can be easy to forget when it takes extra steps to find and favorite it in Canvas.
- Make mentioned courses easier to find
- Reduce repetitive course navigation
- Review the parsed notices on a steady schedule

- 1Connect Airparser and Canvas once in the Notis portal.

- 3Describe which parsed notices indicate a course should be favorited and how to identify that course.

- 5Test with one real notice and check the authenticated user's Canvas favorites.
Questions about this workflow
What if a course is already a favorite?

Whose favorites are changed?
