Put browser-found course dates on the Canvas calendar
Let Notis periodically check Airtop results for a date that needs attention, then create a Canvas event with the course context you specify.
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
Important dates found during web research are easy to miss when they never make it onto the course calendar.
- Review browser findings on a predictable schedule.
- Turn a clearly identified course date into a calendar event.
- Reduce manual copying between research and Canvas.
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 inspect available Airtop results and create a Canvas event for each clearly identified course date.
- 4Pick the notis_cron trigger and set its schedule, then choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real result containing a date and confirm the event details in Canvas.
Questions about this workflow
Does Airtop provide a trigger for new browser results?
No Airtop trigger events are listed here, so this workflow uses a Notis schedule.
What if a date or course is unclear?
Tell Notis to skip unclear results and report them for review. Provide the course context and intended event details in the instruction.
