Why this helps
Course setup can create a chain of data tasks that are easy to lose track of across separate tools.
- Pair course creation with an external connector setup task.
- See the BigML response in your run report.
- State the source configuration directly in a plain-language instruction.
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 configured external data source and ask Notis to create a BigML connector when a course is created.
- 4Pick New Course Created for User as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real course creation and verify the result.
Questions about this workflow
Does BigML automatically use Canvas course details as the connector source?
No. The action creates a connector for an external data source. The trigger description does not establish that course details contain connector configuration.
Can this create a dataset from the course?
No. The allowed action is external connector creation. Dataset creation is not among the listed BigML actions.
