Prepare token details when a new course is created

Start a blockchain focused course with token reference details ready for orientation.

Trigger

New Course Created for User

Polls Canvas for newly created courses for a specific user.

Action

Get Token Metadata

This tool retrieves metadata for a given token contract address, including the token's name, symbol, decimals, and logo url if available. it is essential for applications that need to display token information, handle token transfers, or manage token listings.

Why this helps

Course setup can leave instructors manually collecting basic token details before the first discussion begins.

  • Look for token contract addresses in the course details available to the trigger.
  • Retrieve token name, symbol, decimals, and available logo URL.
  • Surface when course details do not include a contract address.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Canvas and Alchemy once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or describe it to Notis from any channel.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to inspect available new-course details for token contract addresses and summarize returned metadata.
  • 4Pick New Course Created for User as the trigger.
  • 5Choose a report channel and test with one real course whose available details include a token contract address.

Questions about this workflow

Will it search every course page and file?

The trigger polls for newly created courses; the workflow can use details available with that event. Do not assume it scans unrelated course content.

What if no address is available at course creation?

Ask Notis to report that a token contract address is needed and skip the lookup.
