Start course onboarding with a ready intake

Give each new course a place to collect setup questions and onboarding needs from the start.

Trigger

New Course Created for User

Polls Canvas for newly created courses for a specific user.

Action

Create Form

Tool to create a new form with specified fields and settings. use before collecting submissions to define form structure.

Why this helps

Course setup questions arrive across channels, and the intake process is often recreated from scratch.

  • Creates a course onboarding intake as a course is created.
  • Gives setup questions a consistent collection point.
  • Reduces repetitive preparation across courses.

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 onboarding form for the new course using available course details.
  • 4Choose New Course Created for User as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real new course and inspect the created form.

Questions about this workflow

Can the form include course details?

Ask Notis to use details available from the event. Do not assume that a specific course field is provided unless it appears in the event data.

Can this also invite course participants?

No. The allowed Cabinpanda action creates a form; it does not send invitations.
