Why this helps
Setting up a training cohort in Canvas and its matching access group in Coupa requires repeating the same setup by hand.
- Reduces repeated setup across training and procurement systems.
- Keeps the Coupa group name tied to the originating course.
- Creates a consistent place to manage cohort access in Coupa.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Coupa once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation and name it for course group creation.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Coupa business group using the new course name and relevant course details.
- 4Pick the New Course Created for User trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real course and review the created group.
Questions about this workflow
Does this add course members to the Coupa group?
No. The selected Coupa action creates a business group; adding users requires a separate supported workflow.
Can I restrict this to procurement courses?
Describe the course naming or other identifying details Notis should use in the automation instruction. Review a real example to confirm it selects the intended courses.
