Find directory categories for new course resources
When a course resource is uploaded, Notis can fetch your directory's data categories and report plausible options based on the available file details.
Trigger
New Canvas File Upload
Polls a Canvas course for new file uploads.
Action
Get Data Categories
This tool fetches all data categories in a brilliant directories website. data categories are distinct from top categories and represent the various types of data organization within the system.
Why this helps
New learning resources can be difficult to place consistently when category information lives in another system.
- Retrieve current data categories when a course file is uploaded.
- Reduce manual cross-checking between course resources and directory organization.
- Keep category suggestions grounded in the available file and category details.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Brilliant Directories once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and ask Notis to retrieve data categories and report plausible matches for a new course upload.
- 3Pick New Canvas File Upload as the trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports go, then test with one real upload and review the category suggestions.
