Why this helps
Choosing a consistent document format can add friction when a new discussion needs planning or documentation.
- Surface available templates at the moment a topic is created.
- Avoid starting document preparation without knowing what formats are available.
- Keep template discovery connected to a real Canvas event.

- 5Test with one real new discussion topic.
Questions about this workflow
Does this action create a PDF?
No. List PDF Templates retrieves a paginated list of available templates. It does not generate a PDF.
Will Notis choose the best template automatically?
Not from the listed event and action alone. You can ask Notis to summarize the available choices, but the criteria for choosing one should be included in your instruction.
