Questions about this workflow
Will every discussion message create an asset?
Only messages that provide a relevant, usable media URL should be imported. Describe the relevance rule in the prompt.
Can Notis detect links in message text?
The workflow can analyze returned message data, but the media URL must be available to the automation for the Cincopa URL upload action.
Does it post a reply in Canvas?
No. The allowed target action imports an asset into Cincopa.
