Why this helps
Looking up release values mid-conversation can break the flow of teaching and discussion.

- Report available actual, consensus, and prior values.
- Reduce context switching during class.

- 3Tell Notis to identify clear economic indicator or country references in new messages and retrieve related Benzinga event details.

- 5Test with one real message that names an indicator or country.
Questions about this workflow
Will it alert instantly when a release is published?
This workflow starts from a new Canvas discussion message and retrieves calendar data. It is not a live release alert.
What if a post mentions an ambiguous indicator?
Ask Notis to flag ambiguous references for review.
