Trigger

Action
List tests

Why this helps
New discussion formats or features can be introduced without a quick review of what automated tests already exist.
- Review available tests when a course adds a discussion topic.
- Spot whether relevant discussion tests are already in the catalog.
- Keep course experience QA visible without another manual lookup.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Bugbug once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and describe the test inventory review.
- 3Pick New Canvas Discussion Topic as the trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports should go, then test with one real new topic.
Questions about this workflow
Does the workflow prove that the topic feature is covered?
No. It lists tests for you to assess. Your instruction can provide test naming guidance, but the available action does not validate coverage.
Can it run the matching test too?
This workflow only lists tests. A separate automation can run a specified Bugbug test if you know its identity.
