Check Cats Portals from a Canvas Webhook
Send a Canvas related webhook when you need an on-demand Cats portal snapshot without waiting for a polling event.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get Portals
Tool to list all portals. use when you need to browse portal metadata with pagination after authentication.
Why this helps
Polling does not always match urgent handoffs, and manual portal checks interrupt focused work.
- Run an on-demand portal check
- Keep webhook initiated work in one report stream
- Reduce manual handoffs

- 3Pick a Notis webhook trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports should go and copy the webhook endpoint into the authorized sender.
- 5Test with one real webhook request.
