- Creates an intake form for questions about a new course file.
- Keeps resource follow-up connected to its course context.
- Makes feedback collection more consistent.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Cabinpanda once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Cabinpanda form for questions about the uploaded file, using context available from the event.
- 4Choose New Canvas File Upload as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real file upload and review the form.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow analyze the uploaded file?
No. The trigger detects new file uploads, and the allowed Cabinpanda action creates a form. File analysis is not among the listed actions.
Can it use the file name in the form?
Only if the file name is available in the event data. Ask Notis to use available context.
