Make new Canvas discussion topics easier to plan

When a course gets a new discussion topic, Notis can create a Clientary task to review or prepare around it.

Trigger

New Canvas Discussion Topic

Polls a Canvas course for new discussion topics.

Action

Create Task

Tool to create a new task in Clientary. Use when you need to create a task with a title, optionally associating it with a project and assignee.

Why this helps

New topics can create preparation work that gets lost among existing priorities.

  • Give new discussion topics a visible planning step.
  • Carry available course and topic context into Clientary.
  • Keep preparation from becoming a last-minute scramble.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Canvas and Clientary once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
  • 3Describe the planning task outcome in one instruction.
  • 4Pick New Canvas Discussion Topic as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real discussion topic.

Questions about this workflow

Can this create different tasks for different kinds of topics?

Describe the distinctions in your instruction. Notis can use the information returned by Canvas; test that the needed details are present.

Does this publish or edit a topic?

No. The workflow creates a Clientary task and does not change the Canvas discussion.
