Why this helps

- Make preparation work visible among other priorities.
- Keep the new topic's context near the task.
- Start planning sooner after a topic is created.

- 3Describe the preparation task and details to include in one instruction.
- 4Pick New Canvas Discussion Topic as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real topic.
Questions about this workflow
Can the task include a checklist?
Ask Notis to include preparation steps in the task description. Confirm the action supports the details you expect in a real example.
Will the workflow make changes to the topic?
No. It creates a Clientary task and leaves the Canvas discussion topic as it is.
