Keep course reading context together in Canvas
Have Notis periodically turn relevant Airtop findings into a focused Canvas page, so course context is easier to find.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create a page for a course
Creates a wiki page in a Canvas course.
Why this helps
Useful web sources and background notes are scattered across browser runs instead of being available with course materials.
- Collect relevant research context on a course page.
- Reduce time spent locating source notes across browser runs.
- Set page publication preferences in the instruction.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airtop and Canvas once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to review Airtop results and create or update a course page with relevant reading context.
- 4Pick the notis_cron trigger and set its schedule, then choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real result and check the page content and publication state in Canvas.
Questions about this workflow
Can the page be the course front page?
The action supports designating a front page, which also requires publication. Specify this only when intended and verify the result.
Will it know which course to use?
Provide the course context in the instruction or ensure it is clear in the Airtop results.
