Polls a Canvas course for new file uploads.
Action
Create PDF Asynchronously
Tool to queue asynchronous PDF generation via webhook. Use when you need to generate a PDF in the background and receive the result via a webhook.
Why this helps
New course files can require documentation or processing, but uploads are easy to overlook amid other work.
- Respond to file uploads with a document workflow.
- Keep course operations tied to a real upload event.
- Reduce the chance of forgetting to prepare related materials.
