Check video delivery settings when a course topic appears
A new discussion topic may call for video or streaming resources. Retrieve the details of a known Cloudinary streaming profile to keep preparation grounded in its actual configuration.
Trigger
New Canvas Discussion Topic
Polls a Canvas course for new discussion topics.
Action
Get Streaming Profile Details
Tool to get details of a single streaming profile by name. use when you need to inspect an existing profile's configuration before making changes. example: "get details of streaming profile 'hd'."
Why this helps
Video preparation can stall when profile settings are buried in another tool and no one knows which configuration is in use.
- Brings a known profile configuration into the preparation workflow
- Helps avoid relying on outdated assumptions about streaming settings
- Provides a focused follow-up when a course topic is created
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Cloudinary once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis to create one.
- 3In one instruction, name the Cloudinary streaming profile whose details Notis should retrieve for a new course topic.
- 4Pick the New Canvas Discussion Topic trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real topic and verify the returned profile name and details.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis choose a profile based on the topic automatically?
The listed action retrieves details for a single profile by name. Provide the profile name or a clear rule that produces it.
Does this update the streaming profile?
No. It fetches profile details and does not modify the profile.
