Clarify the blockchain network named in a new topic
Start new on-chain discussions with the network context stated clearly for everyone following the course.
Trigger
New Canvas Discussion Topic
Polls a Canvas course for new discussion topics.
Action
Network Selection
Tool to select the blockchain network for graphql queries. use before constructing dataset or metric queries to ensure the correct chain is targeted.
Why this helps
A new discussion topic can mention a chain in passing, leaving readers to determine which network later queries should target.
- React when a new discussion topic is created.
- Use the stated network name to select a Bitquery network.
- Make the network context easy to find in the run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Bitquery once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to read the new topic for an explicitly named blockchain network, use Bitquery network selection for that network, and report the selected context or missing details.
- 4Pick New Canvas Discussion Topic for the course, then choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real topic that explicitly names a supported network.
Questions about this workflow
Will this choose a network if the topic does not name one?
No. Ask Notis to report that the network is unspecified rather than guess.
Does network selection itself return wallet activity?
No. It selects the blockchain network context. A separate Bitquery query action is needed to retrieve activity.

Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Archive Database Query
Tool to query the archive database. use when you need full historical blockchain data (delayed by tens of minutes to hours).
Canvas Assignment Graded
Polls Canvas for newly graded submissions for a specific assignment.
Combined Database Query
Tool to query the combined database, which merges archive and real-time databases. use when you need both historical and up-to-the-second blockchain data in one request.
New Canvas Assignment Submission
Polls Canvas for new submissions to a specific assignment.
Conditional Metrics Snippet
Tool to generate a graphql metric snippet with conditional logic. use when you need to apply filters directly on metric calculations via the `if` attribute.
New Canvas Discussion Message
Polls Canvas discussion topics for new messages.
Count Distinct Metric
Tool to use the count distinct metric to aggregate unique values for a field. use when you need to count the number of unique occurrences in a dataset.
New Canvas Discussion Topic

Count Metric
Tool to use the count metric to aggregate the number of records matching a graphql query. use when you need simple record counts.
New Course Created for User
Polls Canvas for newly created courses for a specific user.
Database Selection
Tool to select the database (archive, realtime, combined) to query at the top level of a graphql request. use after determining whether you need live, historical, or combined blockchain data.
New Canvas File Upload
Polls a Canvas course for new file uploads.
Early Access Program Query
Tool to access streaming data across various blockchain networks for evaluation purposes. use when querying chains not available via the v2 endpoint; limited to real-time data only.
