Turn a Canvas discussion signal into a Crowdin label
Give localization follow-up a visible label when course discussion brings an issue to light.
Trigger
New Canvas Discussion Message
Polls Canvas discussion topics for new messages.
Action
Add Label
Tool to create a new label in a crowdin project. use when you need to tag resources with a custom identifier, such as 'sprint-5'.
Why this helps
Useful translation feedback can disappear in discussion threads and never become visible in the localization project.
- Capture a label when relevant discussion activity occurs.
- Use a consistent naming rule for follow-up.
- Reduce manual context switching between course and localization tools.
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 create a Crowdin label when a discussion message meets your stated relevance rule; creating it does not attach the label to strings.
- 4Pick the New Canvas Discussion Message trigger, then choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real discussion message and confirm the label in the intended Crowdin project.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis determine whether a message is relevant?
Describe your relevance rule in the instruction. If the message lacks context needed to apply it, provide that context yourself.
Will the label be attached to a translation string?
No. The action creates a label only; assigning it requires known string IDs and a separate action.
