Why this helps
Course materials change over time, while chatbot knowledge sources can be easy to forget during a busy week.
- Make new course materials visible for review.
- Prompt a human to check chatbot knowledge coverage.
- Review datasets through paginated results.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Chatbotkit once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what outcome you want from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to list Chatbotkit datasets after a course file upload and flag that a person should review whether materials need updating.
- 4Pick New Canvas File Upload as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real file upload and confirm the report avoids claiming a dataset was updated.
Questions about this workflow
Does this add the uploaded file to a dataset?
No. List Datasets retrieves dataset information. The allowed actions do not include adding files to datasets.
Can it identify which dataset should be updated?
Only if the returned dataset and file details support a reasonable match. Otherwise the report should ask a person to decide.
