Start credential preparation as a new course is created
Credential setup can begin when the course does. Give Notis the eligible cohort, credential details, and any missing recipient data to prepare an initial batch.
Trigger
New Course Created for User
Polls Canvas for newly created courses for a specific user.
Action
Bulk Create Credentials (V2)
Tool to bulk create credentials. use when batching up to 30 credentials in one call; supports multi-status (207) responses.
Why this helps
Course launch creates many follow-ups, and credential setup can be forgotten until learners are already waiting.
- Start credential preparation at course creation.
- Reduce launch checklist follow-up for credentials.
- Batch up to 30 credentials per call when details are ready.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Accredible certificates once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation defining eligible recipients, credential details, and handling for missing data or batches over 30.
- 3Pick New Course Created for User as the trigger.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real course and verify the credential batch outcome.
Questions about this workflow
Does a newly created course contain a credential-ready roster?
Not necessarily. Ensure recipient and credential details are available or instruct Notis to report missing information for follow-up.
Can the automation issue credentials before learners qualify?
Define eligibility carefully. Course creation alone may not prove completion, so use this only when the course event and supplied data establish the intended recipients.
