Polls Canvas discussion topics for new messages.
Action
Email Validation
Tool to validate whether an email address is real and deliverable. use after collecting an email address to confirm deliverability.
Why this helps
Contact details buried in a busy discussion can be copied incorrectly or left unverified before a reply goes out.
- Check deliverability before using an address included in a post.
- Keep the check associated with its discussion message.
- Avoid manually copying an address into a separate validation tool.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Abstract once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose New Automation.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to validate any email address included in the new discussion message and report the result with message context.
- 4Pick New Canvas Discussion Message as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real discussion message that contains an email address.
Questions about this workflow
Will Notis extract an address from every message?
Notis can analyze the message data returned by Canvas. If no address is present, it can report that no address was available.
Does this send a reply to the discussion?
No. The selected Abstract action validates email; it does not post a Canvas reply.
