Ways Notis can move work from Canvas to Agility cms
Find CMS content for new course topics
When a Canvas course gets a discussion topic, search the Agility CMS content list for related material and prepare a short brief with useful links and any content gaps.
Add CMS category context to Canvas discussions
For each new Canvas discussion message, retrieve Agility CMS categories for the chosen locale and report possible content themes. Treat category matches as suggestions, not confirmed classifications.
Review course submissions against CMS models
When Canvas receives a new assignment submission, retrieve Agility CMS content models and page modules to prepare a review checklist for a content exercise. The checklist is guidance, not a grade.
Attach CMS references to graded assignments
When Canvas records a newly graded submission, retrieve a specified Agility CMS content item and prepare a follow-up note with relevant references for the instructor. The workflow does not change the grade.
Check course uploads against CMS tags
When a new file is uploaded to a Canvas course, retrieve Agility CMS tags for a specified locale and report possible tag themes to help organize a follow-up review.
Prepare CMS orientation for a new course
When a Canvas course is created, retrieve the Agility CMS sitemap for a specified locale and channel, then summarize useful destinations for the course team to review.
Check new topics against CMS content structures
For a new Canvas discussion topic, retrieve Agility CMS content models and modules, then report which structures might support a related content idea and what information is missing.
Find content gaps raised in discussions
When a new Canvas discussion message arrives, search a named Agility CMS content list for related coverage and summarize likely matches or apparent gaps for review.

Four ways to start an automation.
A trigger is the event that kicks a workflow off. Notis supports four kinds: an event in a connected app, an inbound webhook, a recurring schedule, and soon, your own database.
Integration triggers
Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,000+ apps can start a workflow.
Webhook triggers
A unique URL per workflow. Anything that can send an HTTP POST can start an automation, including no-code tools that speak webhooks.
Recurring triggers
Cron-style schedules run a workflow on the clock. Daily standups, hourly syncs, business-hours-only digests: the workhorse of Notis.
Database triggers
Watch a row, query, or threshold in your own database and fire the moment the data changes. Row inserted, value crosses a limit, query starts matching.
Classic automation breaks. AI adapts.
Same triggers and actions, smarter middle. AI handles the fuzziness that breaks traditional Zapier-style workflows the moment a field gets renamed.
Describe it. Notis builds it.
Skip the visual builder. Tell Notis what you want, in plain English. It writes the workflow, you review and deploy.
You · in the Notis Builder
NEW“When a row gets added to the Q4 OKRs Notion database and the status is Blocked, send a Telegram message to the owner with a summary of what's blocking, and ping me if there's no reply within 24 hours.”
