Give planned course follow-ups a scheduled check
Catch follow-ups when they are due by checking the AnyDB queue on a cadence you choose.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create conversation
Sends messages by starting a Canvas conversation or adding to an existing one.
Why this helps
Follow-ups may be documented but still missed when the reminder and the message live in separate tools.
- Review due follow-ups on a recurring schedule.
- Send prepared messages with their context intact.
- Report ambiguous recipients or incomplete message details.

- 1Connect AnyDB and Canvas to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation and describe which follow-ups are due and ready to send.
- 3Pick a recurring Notis schedule as the trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real follow-up and intended recipient.
