Start new Canvas courses with a clear ClickUp launch checklist
Course launches bring a familiar set of setup steps. Notis can put those steps on the existing ClickUp kickoff task when Canvas reports a new course.
Trigger
New Course Created for User
Polls Canvas for newly created courses for a specific user.
Action
Create checklist
Creates a new checklist with a specified name within an existing task, which can be identified by its standard id or a custom task id (if `custom task ids` is true, `team id` is also required).
Why this helps
Course preparation often relies on people remembering the same sequence of setup steps each time.
- Keep repeatable launch steps in one place.
- Reduce reliance on remembering each setup step.
- Make course readiness easier to review.
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 create a named launch checklist on the appropriate existing ClickUp kickoff task, using the steps you provide.
- 4Pick the New Course Created for User trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real course event and review the checklist.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a kickoff task?
No. The checklist action needs an existing ClickUp task. Create the kickoff task beforehand or use a separate task workflow.
Where do the checklist steps come from?
Provide the steps in your instruction. Notis should not invent your course launch requirements.
Which new courses are included?
The trigger polls for courses created for a specific user. Choose the user in the trigger setup.
