Keep discussion resources current
If a new discussion topic points learners to an updated Bunny-hosted resource, Notis can request a targeted cache purge.
Trigger
New Canvas Discussion Topic
Polls a Canvas course for new discussion topics.
Action
Purge URL
Tool to purge a specific url from the bunnycdn cache. use when you need to invalidate a resource immediately after updating it.
Why this helps
A discussion can send learners to a stale cached resource when its Bunny-hosted content has just changed.
- Check new discussion topics for a Bunny resource covered by your instruction.
- Purge a specific URL instead of clearing an entire pull zone.
- Keep discussion-linked course materials current.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Bunnycdn once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, describe how to recognize a Bunny-hosted resource in a new topic and its matching Bunny URL.
- 4Pick the New Canvas Discussion Topic trigger for the relevant course.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real topic that links to a Bunny-served resource.
Questions about this workflow
Will this purge every link in a discussion topic?
Only follow the rule in your instruction. Specify which Bunny URLs qualify and how to identify them.
What if the topic does not include a Bunny resource?
Notis should report that no matching URL was found and skip the purge, as directed in your instruction.
