Keep your Convolo character current with Canvas uploads
New course files can change what learners need from a character. Ask Notis to review the upload context and update a specific existing Convolo character when appropriate.
Trigger
New Canvas File Upload
Polls a Canvas course for new file uploads.
Action
Upload Knowledge Bank File
Tool to upload a knowledge bank file. Use when you have a file ready to add to Convolo AI's knowledge bank (Enterprise plan only).
Why this helps
Course materials change over time, making it easy for a course helper character to fall out of sync.
- Use new course uploads as a cue to review character details.
- Keep updates focused on an existing character you identify.
- Reduce manual checks for course content changes.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Convolo AI once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what you want from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, identify the existing character and ask Notis to update only details supported by the new course file context.
- 4Pick the New Canvas File Upload trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real upload and review the character update.
Questions about this workflow
Does this upload the Canvas file into Convolo's knowledge bank?
No. This workflow uses the Update Character action. Knowledge bank uploads are a separate Convolo action and require a file ready to upload.
What if the new file does not contain enough information to justify an update?
Instruct Notis to make no change when the upload does not support a clear update.
Can the workflow create a new character?
This workflow updates an existing character. Creating one would require the separate Create Character action and the needed character details.
