Check goal urgency when new Canvas materials arrive
New course materials can add work to your queue. See your Beeminder account details as you decide what to tackle.
Trigger

Polls a Canvas course for new file uploads.
Action
Get Beeminder User Information
Tool to retrieve information about a specified beeminder user. use when you need to fetch details like timezone, goals, urgency, or deleted goals after authenticating successfully.
Why this helps
Course files arrive without regard to existing goal urgency, making prioritization harder.
- Connect an incoming course file to a goal urgency check.
- Retrieve available Beeminder account details at a useful planning moment.
- Help prevent new materials from obscuring existing priorities.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Beeminder once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by telling Notis to retrieve Beeminder account details when a new course file is uploaded.
- 3Pick the New Canvas File Upload trigger for the relevant course.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports, then test with one real file upload.
Questions about this workflow
Will Notis read or summarize the uploaded file?
The listed workflow trigger detects a file upload and the Beeminder action retrieves account information; it does not describe file contents.
Can it add a Beeminder datapoint for studying the file?
No. The allowed Beeminder actions do not create datapoints.
