Move parsed requests into Canvas conversations
Keep course follow-up moving by turning a parsed request into a Canvas conversation with the intended people.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create conversation
Sends messages by starting a Canvas conversation or adding to an existing one.
Why this helps
A request can be extracted from an email or file but still require several manual steps before the right people see it in Canvas.
- Reduce manual re-entry of request details
- Keep follow-up in Canvas conversations
- Route a request to its intended recipients
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 merit a Canvas conversation and who should receive them.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and check the conversation recipients and message.
Questions about this workflow
Can this action start a new conversation or reuse one?
Canvas may reuse an existing conversation with matching recipients and scope unless configured to force a new one. Include the desired behavior in your instruction.
What if the recipient is unclear in the parsed content?
Tell Notis to flag the request for review instead of guessing recipients.
