Give your team a ClickUp heads-up when a Canvas course starts
Keep course collaborators in the loop without asking everyone to monitor Canvas. Notis can post a short launch update to the ClickUp list your team uses for course coordination.
Trigger
New Course Created for User
Polls Canvas for newly created courses for a specific user.
Action
Create task comment
Adds a comment to a clickup task; `team id` is required if `custom task ids` is true.
Why this helps
People responsible for course launch work may not know a new course has been created until someone tells them manually.
- Make a new course visible to collaborators.
- Keep launch updates alongside course work.
- Reduce manual announcements between tools.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and ClickUp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, or tell Notis from any channel what outcome you want.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to post a concise new-course update to the appropriate existing ClickUp list.
- 4Pick the New Course Created for User trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real course event and verify the list comment.
