Bring relevant workspace changes into Canvas
Have Notis review Anthropic workspace changes and send a concise Canvas conversation update when learners or instructors need to know.

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

Why this helps
Workspace changes can affect course work, but the people who need to know may not see the update in time.
- Reduce manual status updates
- Share only changes relevant to the course
- Keep the update in a Canvas conversation

- 3In one instruction, define which workspace changes matter and which Canvas recipients should receive a concise update.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real workspace change and verify the conversation.
