Review stock movements when course discussions change
Bring a quick inventory activity overview into the same workflow that responds to new course discussion.
Trigger
New Canvas Discussion Message
Polls Canvas discussion topics for new messages.
Action
BoxHero - List Basic Transactions
Tool to list basic inventory transactions. Use when you need a high-level overview of in/out/move transactions.
Why this helps
Useful course discussion can signal changing needs, while stock movement is tracked elsewhere and requires a separate check.
- Start an inventory activity review from a new discussion message.
- See high-level in, out, and move transactions in the Boxhero response.
- Make it easier to decide whether a manual stock follow-up is needed.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Boxhero once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis the outcome in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to list recent basic Boxhero transactions and summarize notable activity when a discussion message arrives.
- 4Pick New Canvas Discussion Message as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real discussion message and inspect the transaction summary.
Questions about this workflow
Does the workflow know which discussion matters to inventory?
The trigger polls a discussion topic for new messages. State the desired relevance criteria in your instruction and provide context if the message alone is insufficient.
Can it update stock quantities?
No. The available action lists basic transactions; it does not create or edit inventory.
