Check upload rules when new course media arrives
When new course media appears, check the Cloudinary upload mappings that shape how external URLs map into asset folders.
Trigger
New Canvas File Upload
Polls a Canvas course for new file uploads.
Action
Get Upload Mappings
Tool to list all upload mappings by folder. use when you need to retrieve and paginate through upload mapping configurations, optionally filtering by folder.
Why this helps
Teams can waste time troubleshooting uploads without knowing which mapping rules already exist.
- Makes current upload mappings easier to inspect
- Shows how external URL prefixes relate to asset folders
- Helps prevent confusion about existing upload behavior
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, ask Notis to retrieve Cloudinary upload mappings after a new course file upload, optionally scoped to a folder.
- 4Pick the New Canvas File Upload trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real upload and confirm the mapping list answers the intended question.
