Keep current course details close to your planning routine
A scheduled course detail lookup can keep key Canvas information visible in a planning summary without a manual course visit.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get a single course
Retrieves detailed information for a specific canvas course using its `course id`, which must be valid, and allows for including additional data fields in the response via the `include` parameter.
Why this helps
Course details needed for planning are scattered across Canvas and can go stale in personal notes or project checklists.
- Refresh course details on a recurring schedule
- Surface selected fields in a short summary
- Reduce manual course lookups
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Canvas once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what you want from any channel.
- 3Name the Canvas course and describe in one instruction which details to include and how to pair them with Asana planning context you provide.
- 4Pick a Notis schedule trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test one real run and check the course information in the summary.
Questions about this workflow
Can the action include additional course data?
Yes. The action allows additional data fields through its include parameter. Specify the fields that matter in your instruction.
Can it choose the course from Asana automatically?
Only when the event or supplied instruction provides enough information to identify a valid Canvas course.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Asana to Canvas. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Asana triggers
Canvas actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create account notification
Creates a global notification within a canvas account, ensuring `end at` is after `start at` and any specified `notification roles` are valid.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create appointment group
Creates a new appointment group in canvas for schedulable time slots within specified course or group contexts.
Attachment Added to Task
Triggers when an attachment is added to a task.
Create an assignment
Creates a new assignment within a specified course in canvas lms.
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
Create assignment override
Creates an assignment override to adjust due/unlock/lock dates for an assignment in a course, targeting specific students (requires `title`), a group, or a course section; at least one target (`student ids`, `group id`, or `course section id`) is required.
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Create Calendar Event
Creates a calendar event with options for recurrence (finite `rrule` series only), section-specific timings, and blackout dates within a specified context.
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
Create communication channel
Creates a new communication channel (e.g., email, sms, push) for an existing canvas user to receive notifications.
Tag Added to Task
Triggers when a tag is added to a task. Note: Asana's event structure is inverted for tag events — the resource is the task and the parent is the tag. So parent.gid gives the tag GID.
Create content share
Shares a canvas content item to specified users, if the sender has necessary permissions and receiver ids are valid.
Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
Create conversation
Use to send messages in canvas by creating a new conversation or adding to an existing one; an existing conversation with the same recipients (and matching scope/filter, if specified) may be reused unless `force new` is true.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
