Check a New Course Creator's Email Domain
When a newly created course event provides its creator's email domain, check its MX records and catch-all behavior with Bouncer.
Trigger
New Course Created for User
Polls Canvas for newly created courses for a specific user.
Action
Verify Domain
Tool to verify the validity and configuration of a domain. use when you need to confirm the domain's mx records and catch-all behavior.
Why this helps
A new course may prompt outreach, but checking whether the available email domain is configured for mail can be another task to remember.
- Check MX records and catch-all behavior for an available domain.
- Tie the domain check to the new course event.
- Avoid deriving a domain when no creator email or domain is included.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Bouncer once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to use Bouncer Verify Domain for a creator email domain explicitly included in the event and skip the action if no domain is present.
- 4Pick New Course Created for User as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real course creation event that includes a creator email domain.
Questions about this workflow
Does this verify the creator's individual email address?
No. This uses Bouncer's domain verification action to check domain mail configuration, including MX records and catch-all behavior.
What if the event does not include a creator email or domain?
The automation should skip the verification instead of guessing a domain.
