Review outreach cards when a new discussion starts
A new topic can create a reason to revisit outreach. Notis checks the cards Amcards returns and highlights relevant context it can identify.
Trigger
New Canvas Discussion Topic
Polls a Canvas course for new discussion topics.
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
New course conversations can create follow-up opportunities that are easy to overlook when outreach details sit in another app.
- Use new discussion topics as a timely review cue
- Surface relevant card context in a run report
- Avoid searching Amcards manually after each new topic
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 when a new discussion topic appears and report any outreach context that is supported by the returned data.
- 4Pick New Canvas Discussion Topic as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real discussion topic and review the report.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis create a card for the new topic?
No. The allowed action gets cards associated with the authenticated account. It does not create cards.
What counts as relevant outreach context?
That depends on the details available in the topic and returned cards. Notis should summarize supported connections and identify when the data is insufficient.
