Find passages connected to new course materials

When a newly uploaded study file covers a scriptural topic, get a related passage search ready for your review.

Trigger

Polls a Canvas course for new file uploads.

Action

Search Verses

Tool to search for verses containing a specified query within a version.

Why this helps

New study materials can require a separate scripture lookup before you can prepare a lesson or discussion.

  • Search for passages tied to scriptural topics found in course material.
  • Get search results when a new file arrives in the course.
  • Review matches before using them in course preparation.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Canvas and Api bible once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation and describe the outcome in one instruction.
  • 3Choose the New Canvas File Upload trigger for the relevant course.
  • 4Choose where run reports go, then test with one real uploaded file that includes a scripture topic or phrase.

Questions about this workflow

Can the search read every kind of uploaded file?

The workflow depends on the information available to Notis from the Canvas event and file. Specify that it should search only when it can identify a relevant scriptural topic or phrase.

Will it add verses to the uploaded file?

No. It returns search results in the run report for you to review.
