Keep external professional contacts from course resources
When a course resource introduces a clearly identified professional, capture the context and request contact enrichment for later review.
Trigger

Polls a Canvas course for new file uploads.
Action
Enrich Leads
Tool to create a lead enrichment request for work emails and direct phone numbers. Uses waterfall enrichment across multiple data providers for higher accuracy. Supports batches of 1-100 leads.
Why this helps
Contact details referenced in course resources can take extra research to find and may be forgotten once the course moves on.
- Capture relevant external contacts when a resource arrives.
- Request work email and direct phone enrichment where available.
- Keep results linked to course resource context for review.

Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Bettercontact once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation and instruct Notis to use only clearly identified external professionals and available event context.

- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real upload that identifies an external professional and review the result.
Questions about this workflow
Can this read every uploaded file?
Do not assume the trigger provides file contents. Use only information available to the automation, and provide needed contact details through your instruction or event context.
Should student files be enriched?
No. Limit this workflow to external professionals identified in relevant course resources; exclude student submissions and personal contacts.
