When a discussion topic goes live, Notis can prepare a Basin form that helps collect the next round of questions or feedback.
Trigger
New Canvas Discussion Topic
Polls a Canvas course for new discussion topics.
Action
Create Form
Tool to create a new form in basin. use when you need to automate form setup with name, timezone, and project association; optionally configure redirect, notifications, or spam protection.
Why this helps
Discussion follow-up often gets planned late, after useful feedback has already become difficult to collect in one place.
- Prepare a feedback collection point alongside a new topic.
- Use topic context to suggest a relevant form name.
- Reduce the delay between starting a discussion and collecting responses.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Basin once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, or tell Notis in plain language.
- 3Ask Notis to create a Basin form for each new discussion topic, using the topic context to name it and a suitable timezone.
- 4Pick New Canvas Discussion Topic as the trigger.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one real topic.
Questions about this workflow
Does the workflow decide what questions belong in the form?
Tell Notis the questions or form purpose you want in your instruction. Review the form details before sharing it.
Can the form be associated with a Basin project?
Include the project association in your instruction if you have a project for the course. Basin's create form action supports project association.
