Trigger
New Canvas Assignment Submission
Polls Canvas for new submissions to a specific assignment.
Action
Create Lead Finder Search
Tool to create a new Lead Finder search to discover leads based on company and people criteria. Use when you need to find prospects matching specific job titles, departments, seniority, company size, industry, or technology stack.
Why this helps
Connecting active coursework to industry contacts often gets postponed because prospect research starts in a separate workflow.
- Start research when a relevant assignment is active.
- Use course and assignment criteria you provide to guide discovery.
- Receive candidate company and contact results for review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Bettercontact once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation and describe the industry prospect search, including course context and criteria to use.
- 3Pick New Canvas Assignment Submission as the trigger for the specific assignment.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real submission and confirm the search uses only the criteria you supplied.
Questions about this workflow
Does Bettercontact search based on the student's submission text?
Only if your instruction explicitly asks Notis to use relevant submitted context and the event provides it. Include any essential search criteria directly in your instruction.
Is this intended to find contacts among students?
No. Use this workflow to find industry prospects related to a course theme, not to enrich or prospect students.
