Run Robot
This tool allows you to trigger the execution of a browseai robot on demand. the tool will run a specified robot with the provided parameters and return the task details. it requires a robot id and optional input parameters (such as url, search term, or other parameters) to configure the robot's execution. it is useful for: - starting robot executions programmatically - automating data collection tasks - triggering robots with custom parameters - integrating robot execution in workflows

Checking the same reference sites manually for each new submission adds context switching and makes follow-up easy to miss.
- Start a configured web check from a new submission event.
- Keep the robot and reference URL under your control.
- Review Browse AI results alongside the Canvas submission.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Browse AI once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in plain language or in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis which configured robot to run and how to use the new submission context.
- 4Pick New Canvas Assignment Submission as the trigger, then choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real submission and confirm the robot results are useful.
Questions about this workflow
Does this check compare a submission's text with web pages?
The listed action runs a Browse AI robot. It does not provide a plagiarism comparison by itself. Describe the website and robot inputs you want Notis to use.
What should I configure before creating this automation?
Have a Browse AI robot ready for the reference site and any required inputs. Notis starts the robot when the Canvas event arrives.
