Reflect maintenance periods in the Canvas course
When a webhook starts the review, use the maintenance window and course details you provide to create a corresponding Canvas blackout date.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create blackout date for course
Creates a course blackout period when activities are restricted or unavailable.
Why this helps
Learners may plan work during a maintenance period if the course calendar does not reflect the interruption.
- Make a specified maintenance period visible in course availability planning
- Reduce manual calendar coordination
- Keep the change tied to a defined course

- 5Test with one real maintenance window and verify the course and date.
