- Reduce manual monitoring of course file activity.
- Keep file and course context close to the call record.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Callingly once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3Describe which uploads should prompt a call and what contact to use; provide any required phone details missing from Canvas.
- 4Pick New Canvas File Upload as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real upload and verify that the correct contact and call context are used.
Questions about this workflow
Can it call only about specific file types or names?
State the criteria in your instruction. Notis can use only the file details returned by Canvas.
Can Canvas provide the uploader's phone number?
The event description does not promise a phone number. Make sure Callingly's required lead details are available to Notis.
Will it call for every upload?
Your instruction can limit calls to uploads that meet your criteria. Test with a real upload to confirm the behavior.
