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 instructor recipient, select the Bolna agent, and describe the welcome and onboarding points.
- 4Pick the New Course Created for User trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real course event and confirm the intended instructor can be reached.
Questions about this workflow
Which course creation event is used?
The trigger polls Canvas for newly created courses for a specific user. Choose that listed event when setting up the automation.
Does this event identify a phone number?
The event description does not promise a phone number. Ensure an approved instructor number is available to Bolna and verify it in your test.
Can the call complete course setup?
This workflow places a call. It can cover the setup guidance you specify, but the listed Bolna action does not itself make changes in Canvas.
