Questions about this workflow
Does every new message become a task?
The trigger detects new discussion messages. Tell Notis how to identify messages that need action, and validate that instruction with a real example.
Will it reply in Canvas?
No. This workflow creates a Clientary task. It does not post a Canvas reply.
