Action

Why this helps
A discussion may start work that depends on project context stored in a different tool.
- Retrieve BigML project details at the start of a discussion-led effort.
- Keep the lookup result in a Notis report.
- Specify the project in your prompt instead of relying on an unstated event field.
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 metadata when a new topic appears.
- 4Pick New Canvas Discussion Topic as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real new topic and review the report.
Questions about this workflow
Can this find the right project from the topic title?
That depends on whether the event supplies the title and whether it uniquely identifies a project. The trigger description does not guarantee either, so specify the project as needed.
Does this generate a prediction?
No. The allowed action retrieves project details. Prediction generation is not among the listed actions.
