Follow up on new Canvas course file uploads by phone

Trigger
New Canvas File Upload
Polls a Canvas course for new file uploads.
Action
Make a phone call from agent

Why this helps
New course materials can be missed when owners rely on manual checks across multiple classes.
- Bring new course materials to the owner's attention
- Make the requested follow-up clear
- Reduce repeated manual checks for uploads
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Bolna once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by telling Notis the outcome you want, or use Automations, New Automation in the portal.
- 3In one instruction, identify the owner recipient, select the Bolna agent, and explain whether the call should alert them or request a review.
- 4Pick the New Canvas File Upload trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real file upload and verify the owner, phone number, and call content.
Questions about this workflow
Does Canvas supply file details to the call?
The trigger polls for new file uploads in a course. Specify which available context the agent should mention, and confirm the needed details are present in a real test.
Can this call verify that a file is usable?
The listed Bolna action initiates a call; it cannot independently inspect or validate the uploaded file. The call can ask the owner to review it.
What if the owner has no phone number available?
A call needs a reachable recipient number. Provide an approved number source in your instruction and verify it before relying on the automation.
