Check service categories when a course file is uploaded
Use a new course file as a cue to retrieve Control D service categories and review any service needs you specify.
Trigger
New Canvas File Upload
Polls a Canvas course for new file uploads.
Action
Get Service Categories
Tool to list all service categories. Use when you need to retrieve available categories before filtering or assigning services.
Why this helps
New course materials may call for a service review, but finding the right category list takes extra steps.
- Retrieve the available categories after a course file arrives.
- Use the categories as input to a human-led review.
- Avoid making changes based only on an upload event.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Control D once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in plain language or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Ask Notis to retrieve Control D service categories after a course file upload and include any service criteria you provide in the review.
- 4Pick New Canvas File Upload as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real upload and inspect the category list.
Questions about this workflow
Does the upload tell Notis which service category to change?
No. The action lists available categories. Provide criteria for any review, and handle changes separately.
Can this automatically enable a service?
No. This workflow retrieves categories and does not modify profile services.
