Capture energy readings from new course files
When a course file arrives, let Notis check for the reading you care about and record it in Corrently when available.

Polls a Canvas course for new file uploads.
Action
CO₂ Meter Update
Tool to create or update a co₂ meter reading for emissions tracking. use when sending new or updated electricity consumption readings to corrently.
Why this helps
Energy figures stored in course files can be missed when they have to be transferred into a separate emissions tracker.
- Use a file upload as a cue to capture a relevant reading.
- Reduce manual transcription into Corrently.
- Get a report when the uploaded file lacks the specified value.

- 5Test with one real upload that contains a usable electricity reading.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis read every uploaded file format?
The listed trigger only guarantees notice of a new file upload. The available file contents and format may limit what Notis can extract, so test with a real example.
What happens if the file has no consumption value?
Tell Notis to skip the Corrently update and report that no usable reading was found.
