- 1Connect Canvas and Codacy once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis the outcome from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to list accessible Codacy projects when a new discussion topic is created.
- 4Pick the New Canvas Discussion Topic trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real new topic and confirm the project list is a useful prompt for preparation.
Questions about this workflow
Does the workflow know which projects relate to the topic?
The Codacy action lists accessible projects; the described action does not search by topic. Any association needs to be supplied or inferred from available information.
Does it run for every message in the discussion?
No. This trigger is for new discussion topics. New messages have a separate Canvas event.
