Polls Canvas discussion topics for new messages.
Action
Create single use scheduling link

Why this helps
A question that needs a conversation can get buried in a discussion thread while you decide how to arrange time to talk.
- Prepare a one-time booking link for a discussion follow-up.
- Spot messages that may benefit from a conversation sooner.
- Keep meeting setup out of the discussion review loop.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Calendly once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a single-use booking link when a discussion message needs a follow-up conversation, based on the available message context.
- 4Pick New Canvas Discussion Message as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real discussion message and review the link in the run report.
Questions about this workflow
Will every discussion message automatically get a meeting link?
The trigger polls for new messages. In your instruction, tell Notis when a message merits a follow-up link; the available event description does not specify filtering controls.
Does the action notify the message author?
No. It creates a scheduling link, but does not send that link to the author.
