Align scan response fields with new topics
A new topic can signal new information to capture. Keep the related Codereadr response fields current with a focused update.
Trigger
New Canvas Discussion Topic
Polls a Canvas course for new discussion topics.
Action
Manage CodeREADr Response Fields
Tool to create or update response fields returned with scan data. Use when customizing which fields to include in scan payloads.
Why this helps
When a course introduces a new topic, scan reports can miss the information the team now needs to collect.
- Reflect new course needs in scan response fields.
- Keep reporting data aligned with the workflow.
- Avoid rebuilding response settings from scratch.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Codereadr once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis which existing Codereadr service to update and what response fields the new topic should add or change.
- 4Choose New Canvas Discussion Topic as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real topic and review the updated response fields.
Questions about this workflow
Does Notis infer the exact fields from the topic title alone?
It can use the topic details as context, but specify the required fields and service in the instruction when the desired data is not explicit.
Can this update a service that does not exist yet?
The action manages response fields. An existing Codereadr service should be available for the update.
