- Start a branch with a consistent naming rule.
- Reduce confusion in an active project.
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 branch in an existing Crowdin project only for topics that meet your module rule, using your naming convention.
- 4Pick the New Canvas Discussion Topic trigger, then choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real topic event and confirm the branch in Crowdin.
Questions about this workflow
Can every discussion topic get its own branch?
You can specify that, but a rule that creates branches only for meaningful modules may avoid unnecessary project clutter.
Will this create a Crowdin project?
No. It creates a branch inside an existing project whose ID you provide.
