Questions about this workflow
Can this call for only a particular assignment?

Can it decide which submissions deserve a call?
Tell Notis the criteria in your instruction. Any criterion that depends on information Canvas does not return must be supplied separately.
What if Canvas does not provide a phone number?
Callingly needs the lead details required to create a call. Supply missing contact details in your instruction or connected context before using the workflow.
