Create an agency next step from a new training topic
When a new course topic signals work for the agency, let Notis put the next step into AgencyZoom.
Trigger
New Canvas Discussion Topic
Polls a Canvas course for new discussion topics.
Action
Create task post endpoint
Creates a new task in agencyzoom; ensure `assigneeid`, `customerid`, or `leadid` are valid existing entities if provided, and use `contactemail`, `customerid`, or `leadid` to link the task to a contact.
Why this helps
A new training topic can require preparation or follow-up, but the action may never make it from Canvas into the agency's task list.
- Turn qualifying course topics into trackable agency work.
- Include topic context in the task so the next step is clear.
- Avoid creating tasks for topics that do not require action.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and AgencyZoom once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis which new course topics require agency work and to create an AgencyZoom task with the relevant context.
- 4Pick New Canvas Discussion Topic as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real topic that requires preparation or follow-up.
Questions about this workflow
Will every new topic create a task?
No. The instruction can state which topics require agency action and ask Notis to ignore informational topics.
Can this assign a task to an employee?
Yes, when a valid AgencyZoom assignee is known and included. The task action requires valid ids for supplied related entities.
