Give important admin changes a place for discussion
When a scheduled review finds a change worth discussing, create a Canvas topic with the context and question you specify.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create discussion topic
Creates a discussion topic in a Canvas course.
Why this helps
Changes that need shared judgment can stall when nobody creates a clear place to discuss them.
- Create a focused place for team input
- Include relevant context and a clear discussion prompt
- Reduce manual setup for recurring reviews
