- Keep the outcome associated with the course and upload context.
- Make missing contact data visible in the run report.

Questions about this workflow
Can Abstract validate an email address inside an uploaded document?
This workflow uses the data returned by the Canvas upload event. Do not assume file contents are available unless Canvas returns them to Notis.
What if the upload event has no contact address?
Notis can note that no email address was available to validate.
