Connect relevant Canvas questions to ClickUp work
A discussion question may affect a task already in progress. Let Notis add the relevant message to that task so the context stays close to the work.
Trigger
New Canvas Discussion Message
Polls Canvas discussion topics for new messages.
Action
Create task comment
Adds a comment to a clickup task; `team id` is required if `custom task ids` is true.
Why this helps
Questions raised in Canvas discussions can be separated from the ClickUp tasks they affect, causing extra searching and missed context.
- Keep relevant questions close to active work.
- Reduce copy and paste between course discussions and tasks.
- Make follow-up context easier for teammates to find.
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 comment on the relevant ClickUp task when a discussion message relates to its work, summarizing the question and source context.
- 4Pick the New Canvas Discussion Message trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real message and check that Notis selected the right task.
Questions about this workflow
Will all messages be added to ClickUp?
You can ask Notis to comment only when a new message relates to a task. The trigger watches the selected discussion topics.
Does Notis know which task is relevant?
Explain the relationship in your instruction. If the message does not provide enough context to identify a task, Notis should report that rather than guess.
Will Notis reply to the student?
No. This workflow adds a comment to ClickUp and does not post a reply in Canvas.
