Why this helps

Course discussions can surface client questions, while the proposal details that answer them sit elsewhere.

  • Pair course conversation with proposal context for human review.
  • Help teams notice when a discussion may touch delivery commitments.
  • Reduce the effort of searching proposals while following a course thread.

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Canvas and Better Proposals once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language.
  • 3Ask Notis to retrieve proposals when a discussion message arrives and summarize any apparent client or scope context for review.
  • 4Choose New Canvas Discussion Message as the trigger.
  • 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real discussion message.
