Ways Notis can move work from Canvas to Beamer

Check product updates when work is submitted

Review Beamer comments after a Canvas discussion
After a new Canvas discussion message, retrieve comments on a relevant Beamer post to check for related product feedback or questions.
Measure related Beamer updates for a new topic
When Canvas creates a discussion topic, count Beamer posts matching its subject to gauge whether existing product updates may help seed the discussion.
Check Beamer reactions after a course upload
When a Canvas course receives a file, review reactions on a related Beamer post to surface audience response that may inform follow-up.
Check Beamer access when a course is created
When a new Canvas course is created, ping Beamer to confirm its API is reachable before relying on Beamer lookups in course communications.

Four ways to start an automation.
A trigger is the event that kicks a workflow off. Notis supports four kinds: an event in a connected app, an inbound webhook, a recurring schedule, and soon, your own database.
Integration triggers
Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,000+ apps can start a workflow.
Webhook triggers
A unique URL per workflow. Anything that can send an HTTP POST can start an automation, including no-code tools that speak webhooks.
Recurring triggers
Cron-style schedules run a workflow on the clock. Daily standups, hourly syncs, business-hours-only digests: the workhorse of Notis.
Database triggers
Watch a row, query, or threshold in your own database and fire the moment the data changes. Row inserted, value crosses a limit, query starts matching.
Classic automation breaks. AI adapts.
Same triggers and actions, smarter middle. AI handles the fuzziness that breaks traditional Zapier-style workflows the moment a field gets renamed.
Describe it. Notis builds it.
Skip the visual builder. Tell Notis what you want, in plain English. It writes the workflow, you review and deploy.
