Trigger

Action
List Document Exports

Why this helps
Course files and exported documents can be hard to keep in view together when updates arrive throughout the week.
- Review export history when new course files arrive.
- Keep file-related follow-up in one run report.
- Use available history to inform a manual content decision.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Cloudpress once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis the outcome in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to list recent Cloudpress document exports when a new Canvas course file is uploaded and summarize potential follow-ups using available event context.
- 4Pick New Canvas File Upload as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real file upload.
Questions about this workflow
Will it sync the uploaded file into Cloudpress?
No. The listed Cloudpress action retrieves document export history; it does not sync or export files.
Can it compare the upload with prior versions?
Only if the event and returned export data provide enough detail. Otherwise, Notis should report what information is missing.
