Keep course file follow-up connected to your contacts
A new course file can prompt a useful follow-up. Notis checks Amcards contacts and reports a match only when the available details support one.
Trigger
New Canvas File Upload
Polls a Canvas course for new file uploads.
Action
Get Contacts
This tool retrieves a list of contacts from amcards. it is used for managing contacts by providing details like limit, skip, and filters (e.g., last name, first name, email). the tool returns an array of contact objects containing fields such as id, first name, last name, email, created at, and updated at.
Why this helps
Files can arrive with follow-up needs, but finding the right contact context takes extra searching and can interrupt focused work.
- Turn file uploads into a clear follow-up checkpoint
- Review contact context without a separate manual search
- Make uncertainty and missing details explicit
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Amcards once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to check Amcards contacts when a course file is uploaded and summarize only contact context supported by available details.
- 4Pick New Canvas File Upload as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real course file upload and review the report.
Questions about this workflow
Does the action inspect or send the uploaded file?
No. The action retrieves Amcards contacts. The workflow can use event details provided by Canvas, but it does not send or process a file through Amcards.
What happens if the file event has no person details?
Notis can report that it found no reliable basis for matching contacts and leave the file follow-up for your review.
