- Focus attention on content that may need inspection
- Make the limits of available file text visible
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Ai ml api once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it from any channel.
- 3Describe in one instruction how to moderate supplied file text and report if file contents are unavailable.

- 5Test with one real upload whose content is available for review.
Questions about this workflow
Can it inspect every file format?
The moderation action can only check text or image content that is supplied to it. If the upload event provides metadata only, content must be supplied separately.
Will it block or delete an upload?
No. It provides a moderation result for human review and does not modify the course.
