Find the right Connecteam board to review after a Canvas discussion

Trigger

Polls Canvas discussion topics for new messages.
Action
Get Task Boards
Tool to retrieve all task boards. use after authenticating with a valid api key to list available task boards.
Why this helps
Follow-up ideas from course discussions can disappear when they are separated from the team's operational workspace.
- See available boards without leaving the discussion context.
- Keep follow-up as a human decision rather than creating an unsupported task.
- Surface when no task boards are available.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Connecteam once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the discussion follow-up report.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve Connecteam task boards and include them as references for a person to choose from.
- 4Pick New Canvas Discussion Message as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real discussion message and confirm the report does not claim to create a task.
Questions about this workflow
Will this add a task to a Connecteam board?
No. Get Task Boards retrieves board information; it does not create or update tasks.
Can Notis decide which board is correct?
It can suggest a possible fit based on information available in the message and board data, but a person should review the suggestion.
