Trigger

Action
Create Person
Tool to create a new person record. use when you need to add a person to your crm before linking them to other records.
Why this helps
File uploads can include useful participant information that gets lost in course activity.
- Capture identifiable uploaders for later follow-up.
- Use only details Canvas actually provides.
- Avoid duplicate or uncertain person records by checking for an existing person first.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and CentralstationCRM once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to check for an existing person using reliable uploader details and create a person only when no match exists and identity is clear.
- 4Pick New Canvas File Upload as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real upload and review the outcome.
Questions about this workflow
Can it identify an uploader from the file name alone?
Only if you explicitly decide that a file name is a reliable identifier. Otherwise, tell Notis to use uploader details returned by Canvas and skip uncertain cases.
Will it avoid duplicates?
Ask Notis to search for a matching person using available identifying details before creating a new record.
