Align an existing Convolo character with a new Canvas course
When a new course is created, have Notis review the course context and refresh the details of a character you already use for course support.
Trigger
New Course Created for User
Polls Canvas for newly created courses for a specific user.
Action
Update Character
Tool to update existing character details. Use when you have a character ID and need to modify its attributes.
Why this helps
Launching a course often means revisiting existing support characters, but those updates can fall behind setup work.
- Use a new course as a prompt to review an existing character.
- Update character details relevant to the course context.
- Reduce repeated manual setup across course launches.
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 describe which details to align with the new course.
- 4Pick the New Course Created for User trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real course event and review the character update.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a Convolo character for the new course?
No. The selected action updates a character that already exists. Creating one uses a separate action.
What should I do if Notis cannot access course details from the event?
Supply the missing course context in your instruction or ask Notis to skip updates when the details are unavailable.
Can the trigger apply to one user?
The listed Canvas event polls for newly created courses for a specific user. Select the intended trigger during setup.
