Turn important Canvas file uploads into Bitbucket issues
Make uploaded course files visible when they need someone to take the next step.
Trigger
New Canvas File Upload
Polls a Canvas course for new file uploads.
Action
Create an issue
Creates a new issue in a bitbucket repository, setting the authenticated user as reporter; ensures assignee (if provided) has repository access, and that any specified milestone, version, or component ids exist.
Why this helps
A file can arrive without a clear reminder for the person who needs to review or process it.
- Create a visible follow-up item for selected uploads.
- Include file and course details available from the event.
- Reduce manual checks for newly uploaded course files.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Bitbucket once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in plain language or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Describe which uploads need an issue and ask Notis to include available file and course context.
- 4Pick New Canvas File Upload as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real upload that needs review.
Questions about this workflow
Does the issue contain the uploaded file itself?
The issue action creates an issue and does not upload attachments. It can include file details available from the event, such as a link if one is provided.
Can it ignore routine uploads?
Yes. Define which file uploads need follow-up and have Notis skip routine ones.
