Why this helps
A useful document may already have been exported, but finding it during an active course discussion takes attention away from the conversation.
- Surface recent export history during discussion review.
- Make it easier to find relevant existing course content.
- Keep the workflow focused on context rather than automatic replies.
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 review recent Cloudpress document exports when a new Canvas discussion message arrives and summarize potentially relevant items.
- 4Pick New Canvas Discussion Message as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real discussion message.
