Create a BigML project for a new discussion topic

When a new topic starts a distinct analysis effort, Notis can create a BigML project to keep the work together.

Trigger

New Canvas Discussion Topic

Polls a Canvas course for new discussion topics.

Action

Create Project

Tool to create a new project. use when you need to group related bigml resources into a project.

Why this helps

Follow-up analysis can lose momentum when project setup is a separate task after a discussion begins.

  • Create a project when a topic starts a defined analysis effort.
  • Use Notis reports to track the creation result.
  • Avoid creating a project for every topic unless that is the intended outcome.

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, describe when a new discussion topic merits a BigML project and ask Notis to create it.
  • 4Pick New Canvas Discussion Topic as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real topic and verify the project result.

Questions about this workflow

Will this create a project for every new topic?

The trigger polls for new course discussion topics. The instruction should specify the circumstance in which project creation is useful. The action description does not promise deduplication.

Will the topic content be copied into the project?

No. The available action creates a BigML project. It does not state that Canvas content is copied.
