Why this helps
Potential opportunities can be easy to miss when new course discussions arrive alongside other work.
- Review new topics for explicit commercial intent.
- Create a deal only when enough opportunity context is available.
- Avoid treating ordinary course discussion as a sales opportunity.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and CentralstationCRM once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, with a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to assess each new topic for an explicit opportunity and create a CentralstationCRM deal only when the available information supports it; report missing details for review.
- 4Pick New Canvas Discussion Topic as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real topic that represents a known opportunity.
Questions about this workflow
Will every new topic create a deal?
No. The instruction should require explicit opportunity evidence and sufficient details before creating a deal.
Can Notis fill in deal details Canvas does not provide?
No. Notis can use returned information and can report which details are missing for you to supply.
