Check credential activity when course files arrive
When a new file arrives, have Notis retrieve interaction events for a credential you identify and report the activity for review.
Trigger
New Canvas File Upload
Polls a Canvas course for new file uploads.
Action
List Credential Interactions
Tool to list credential interactions. use when you need to retrieve interaction events for a specific credential, with optional filtering and pagination.
Why this helps
Course updates and credential activity can signal follow-up needs, but checking both systems separately takes extra effort.
- Tie a targeted activity lookup to new course material.
- Review interactions for a known credential without a separate search.
- Support timely follow-up with returned event data.
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.
- 3Provide the credential identifier and request its interaction events in one instruction.
- 4Pick New Canvas File Upload as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real course upload and a known credential identifier.

Only when you provide a specific credential identifier or it is available in the trigger context. Do not assume the file identifies a credential.
Does it verify the credential award?
No. It lists interaction events for a specific credential.
Can I filter the returned interactions?
The action supports optional filtering and pagination. Describe the desired review in your instruction.
