Start a new course with outreach context at hand
A new course brings setup work. Notis can check your Amcards cards and give you a short report of any context that may help with early outreach.
Trigger
New Course Created for User
Polls Canvas for newly created courses for a specific user.
Action
Get Cards
This tool retrieves a list of all cards associated with the authenticated account. the action is completely independent and doesn't require any external resource ids or parameters beyond authentication. it allows users to monitor, track, and manage their cards.
Why this helps
Starting a course involves many small tasks, and checking outreach records adds another context switch when attention is already stretched.
- Add a quick outreach review to course setup
- See relevant card context in one report
- Reduce the chance of overlooking early follow-up
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 review Amcards cards for outreach context related to a newly created course and report what the returned data supports.
- 4Pick New Course Created for User as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real course creation and review the report.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow send welcome cards?
No. The available Amcards action retrieves cards only. The workflow reports existing card context and does not send mail.
Will it know which audience the course serves?
Only if that information is present in the event or supplied in your instruction. Notis should identify any missing context rather than assume an audience.
