Questions about this workflow
Does the course-created event include instructor details?
The event description does not specify which course fields are returned. Test whether the needed identity details are available and have Notis report missing information.
Can I avoid creating a duplicate instructor account?
State that Notis should check for an existing matching user and report or skip duplicates according to your account provisioning policy.
