Action
Get Products
Tool to retrieve a list of products. use when you need to list inventory items with pagination and filtering.
Why this helps
Rental requests and inventory live in separate systems, so coordinators can lose time switching tabs just to check whether an item is in the catalog.
- Check requested items against the Booqable product catalog without leaving the Canvas workflow.
- Get a concise summary of matching products and any items that could not be identified.
- Keep a human in control of confirming stock and rental availability.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Booqable once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it from your usual channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to read new equipment request submissions and check the requested items in Booqable, reporting matches and unclear items.
- 4Choose New Canvas Assignment Submission for the relevant assignment as the trigger.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one real request.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow confirm that an item is available for the requested dates?
No. It looks up products in Booqable. Date-specific availability is not established by the listed product lookup action, so confirm availability in Booqable before promising equipment.
What should the Canvas submission include?
Ask students to identify the requested items clearly. Notis can report when a name or description does not match a recognizable Booqable product.
