Check BigML project details from a Canvas discussion event
When a discussion gets a new message, Notis can inspect a BigML project you identify in your instruction and report its metadata.
Trigger
New Canvas Discussion Message
Polls Canvas discussion topics for new messages.
Action
Get Project
Tool to retrieve details of a project by id. use when you need to inspect project metadata before analysis.
Why this helps
Switching from an active course discussion into a separate project workspace can break focus and delay follow-up.
- Use a discussion message to initiate a project metadata check.
- Receive the retrieved details in the chosen Notis report channel.
- Keep project lookup instructions in plain language.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and BigML once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, identify the BigML project to inspect and ask Notis to summarize its returned metadata after a new discussion message.
- 4Pick New Canvas Discussion Message as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real discussion message and verify the project details in the report.
Questions about this workflow
Does the event tell Notis which BigML project to inspect?
No. The event description only says it polls discussion topics for new messages. Identify the project in your instruction, and ensure the available data supports the requested context.
Does this post a reply to Canvas?
No. The available BigML action retrieves project details. No Canvas reply action is listed.
