Notis

Keep parsed course dates visible in Canvas

Bring important dates extracted from documents and email into the course calendar on a steady routine.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Create Calendar Event

Creates a calendar event, optionally as a recurring series.

Why this helps

Dates extracted from schedules and announcements can stay buried in a parser instead of appearing where course work is planned.

  • Surface extracted dates in the course calendar
  • Reduce manual calendar entry
  • Review upcoming dates on a consistent schedule

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 dates should become Canvas calendar events and how to avoid duplicates.
  • 4Pick a recurring Notis schedule and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real parsed schedule and verify the calendar event in Canvas.

Questions about this workflow

What starts this workflow?

A recurring Notis schedule starts it. Airparser does not expose a trigger event in this workflow package.

Can Notis avoid creating duplicate calendar events?

Instruct Notis to check available Canvas data and existing events before creating anything. If a reliable matching detail is unavailable, provide the matching rule in your instruction.
