Keep discussion questions connected to upcoming meetings
A discussion post may already have a conversation on the calendar. Check upcoming bookings before starting another scheduling thread.
Trigger
New Canvas Discussion Message
Polls Canvas discussion topics for new messages.
Action
Fetch all bookings
Fetches a list of bookings, optionally filtered by status, attendee, date range, or by event/team ids (which must belong to/include the authenticated user respectively), with support for pagination and sorting.
Why this helps
Course questions and meeting plans live in separate places, making it easy to create duplicate follow-ups or overlook an existing conversation.
- See upcoming bookings after a new discussion message.
- Reduce duplicate outreach when a meeting is already planned.
- Keep question triage connected to real scheduling context.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Cal once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to review upcoming Cal bookings alongside each new discussion message and flag any relevant existing meeting context.
- 4Pick the New Canvas Discussion Message trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real discussion message and check the report for useful context.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow respond to the discussion message?
No. The listed Cal action fetches bookings, and no Canvas response action is included. The workflow reports scheduling context for you to review.
Can it determine whether a booking is relevant to the message?
Notis can compare the available returned details. If the message or booking lacks enough context to match reliably, provide criteria in your instruction.
