Move parsed questions into the right discussion
Route a useful question from parsed email or documents into an existing Canvas discussion.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create discussion entry
Posts an entry in a Canvas discussion topic.
Why this helps
Questions pulled from files and email are easy to lose when someone must find the course discussion and repost them manually.
- Keep relevant questions with their course discussion
- Reduce copying and switching between tools
- Make parsed questions easier for participants to address
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 questions belong in an existing Canvas discussion and how to handle uncertain matches.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real parsed question and review the discussion entry.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a new discussion topic?
No. This action creates an entry in an existing discussion topic. Use the topic details in your instruction so Notis can identify the right destination.
Can it post every parsed question automatically?
Tell Notis what qualifies as relevant and how to handle ambiguous items. Review a real example before relying on the workflow.
