Why this helps
A phone number in a course discussion can be easy to overlook, and checking it manually adds another context switch.
- Review reputation, business, carrier, and FTC complaint details together.
- Keep the lookup tied to the discussion that prompted it.
- Run a check only when the message contains an E.164 phone number.
Setup

- 1Connect Canvas and Callerapi once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to check any E.164 phone number included in a new discussion message and summarize the result with the message context.
- 4Choose New Canvas Discussion Message as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real message that includes an E.164 phone number.
Questions about this workflow
Does every discussion message trigger a phone lookup?
The prompt can ask Notis to look up a number only when the message includes one in E.164 format. Messages without one can be reported without a lookup.
What does Callerapi return?
The action can return detailed phone number information, including reputation, business and carrier details, and FTC complaints.
