Prepare credential groups for a new course
A new Canvas course can prompt Notis to retrieve Certifier groups so you can identify the group relevant to your credential workflow.
Trigger
New Course Created for User
Polls Canvas for newly created courses for a specific user.
Action
List Groups
Tool to list all groups. use when you need to retrieve groups with pagination (limit and cursor).
Why this helps
Course setup and credential setup often happen in separate places, making it easy to miss the group needed later.
- Bring group lookup into the new course setup process.
- Review available groups without a separate manual search.
- Prepare the information needed for later credential issuance.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Certifier once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve groups and report the choices for review.
- 4Pick New Course Created for User as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real newly created course and review the group results.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create or select a group?
No. It lists available Certifier groups for review; it does not create or select one.
Can this issue credentials automatically?
This workflow retrieves groups only. Credential issuance needs a separate workflow and ready recipient and group details.
Can it identify the right group from the course?
Only if the relevant group criteria or relationship is present in the returned data or supplied in your instruction.
