Gather Appveyor role context for an access topic
Start an access-focused discussion with the Appveyor role list ready for a grounded reference.
Trigger
New Canvas Discussion Topic
Polls a Canvas course for new discussion topics.
Action
Get Roles
Tool to retrieve all roles in the account. use when you need to enumerate available roles before assigning permissions.
Why this helps
A new discussion about team access can require a separate permissions lookup before anyone can respond confidently.
- Retrieve the account's Appveyor roles when a discussion topic is created.
- Focus the summary on access questions when the topic and supplied context support that interpretation.
- Make role information easier to include in a timely follow-up.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Appveyor once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve Appveyor roles and summarize relevant access context for topics about team permissions.
- 4Pick New Canvas Discussion Topic as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real access-related topic and confirm the role summary is useful.
Questions about this workflow
Does this change anyone's permissions?
No. It retrieves the roles in the account; it does not assign roles or change access.
What if a topic does not mention access?
The automation can report the retrieved roles with a note that the topic does not establish an access question. Add relevant context in the instruction if needed.
