Finish Canvas group setup from a parsed request
When a parsed request points to an existing group category, assign its unassigned members and keep the setup moving.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Assign unassigned members to group category
Assigns unassigned members to groups within a group category; asynchronous by default.
Why this helps
Group setup requests can be extracted from forms and email but still require a separate Canvas step that is easy to forget.
- Reduce manual group setup follow-up
- Use parsed requests to identify the relevant group category
- Keep group assignment work moving in Canvas
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 requests should trigger assignment and how to identify the existing group category.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and review the assignment result or async progress in Canvas.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a group category?
No. It assigns unassigned members in an existing group category. That category must be identified in the request or your instruction.
Can the action run asynchronously?
Yes. It returns a progress object by default, or memberships when configured for synchronous behavior. Follow the run report and verify completion.
