Why this helps
A fresh discussion topic often needs context before students can contribute focused analysis.
- Adds relevant fixture information at discussion launch.
- Helps students start with shared match context.
- Reduces instructor preparation time.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Api sports once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to identify the match or competition in each new topic and fetch the relevant fixture details for a primer.
- 4Pick New Canvas Discussion Topic as the trigger.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one real topic.
Questions about this workflow
Will the primer be added to the Canvas topic?
No. It is sent to the report channel you choose.
Can it find a fixture from a broad topic title?
If the match cannot be identified confidently, ask Notis to note what is missing rather than guess.
