Keep procurement course evidence with its Coupa purchase order

Trigger
New Canvas File Upload
Polls a Canvas course for new file uploads.
Action
Add File Attachment to Purchase Order
Tool to add a file attachment to an existing purchase order. Use when you need to upload and attach files (documents, images, PDFs, etc.) to purchase orders in Coupa.
Why this helps
Procurement evidence uploaded to a training course can be separated from the purchase order it supports.
- Keeps relevant uploaded evidence with its purchase order.
- Reduces manual downloading and reattaching of course files.
- Makes supporting documentation easier to locate during PO review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Coupa once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation and name it for purchase order evidence filing.
- 3Tell Notis to attach eligible uploads from the designated Canvas course to the Coupa purchase order identified by the agreed order reference.
- 4Pick the New Canvas File Upload trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real upload and confirm the correct file and purchase order.
Questions about this workflow
Will every file uploaded to the course be attached?
State which uploads are relevant in the instruction and test with a real example. Use a course dedicated to procurement documentation when possible.
What if the purchase order cannot be identified from the upload?
Provide a reliable order reference through the course or file context. If there is no dependable match, the automation should report the missing identifier instead of attaching the file to a guessed order.
