Action

Why this helps
Ideas raised in a discussion can lose momentum when nobody follows up with a practical cost estimate.
- Use a new discussion message as a follow-up cue.
- Request an estimate for the specific method and quantity in your instruction.
- Give a sustainability idea a cost reference for further consideration.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Cdr platform once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in plain language or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3In one instruction, ask for a CDR price estimate when a discussion message arrives and state the method and quantity to price.
- 4Pick New Canvas Discussion Message as the trigger, then choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real discussion message and inspect the estimate report.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow infer a valid removal method and amount from any message?
Do not assume it can. State the method and quantity in your instruction so the price request is well-defined.
Will it post an answer back to Canvas?
No. The listed CDR action retrieves a price estimate, and no Canvas posting action is listed.
