A new course topic can signal a new learning initiative. Have Notis create the corresponding Accredible group using the details and naming rules you specify.
Trigger

Polls a Canvas course for new discussion topics.
Action
Create Group
Tool to create a new group. use after gathering all group details.
Why this helps
New course activities can require parallel credential setup, and that setup is easy to leave until learners are ready.
- Start credential setup when a relevant course topic appears.
- Use one instruction to describe which topics merit a group.
- Reduce the lag between course planning and credential preparation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Accredible certificates once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation describing which new topics should create a group and the required group details.
- 3Pick New Canvas Discussion Topic as the trigger.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real topic and confirm the group details.
Questions about this workflow
Will every new discussion topic create a group?
State the criteria in your instruction. The trigger observes new topics, while Notis can evaluate returned information against your supplied rule.
What group details should I provide?
Include the required group details and any naming conventions in your instruction. Notis should not guess details that are unavailable from Canvas.
