Why this helps
Localization can stall when source files are uploaded but never added to the Crowdin project.
- Move source files into the project workflow sooner.
- Avoid repeating file setup by hand.
- Apply your own inclusion criteria before adding files.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Crowdin once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis the outcome in plain language from any channel.
- 3Ask Notis to upload each eligible Canvas file to Crowdin storage and add it to the specified project, branch, or directory.
- 4Pick the New Canvas File Upload trigger, then choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real upload and verify the file appears in the intended Crowdin location.
Questions about this workflow
Does the workflow create a Crowdin project?
No. The project must already exist. The Add File action places an uploaded storage file into the specified project location.
What if only some course files should be localized?
Describe the eligibility rules in your instruction and provide any criteria that are not available from Canvas file details.
