- Make workspace discovery part of course support preparation.
- Receive the inventory in a Notis run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Botpress once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to list Botpress workspaces and report the results for your course support setup.
- 4Choose New Canvas Discussion Topic as the trigger.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real discussion topic.
Questions about this workflow
Does this find the specific bot for my course?
No. The available action lists workspaces, not bots or course mappings. Use the report to review available workspaces.
Can I filter workspaces by course?
The action supports an optional workspace handle filter, but the supplied event does not provide that handle. Include a known handle in your instruction if applicable.
