Give every new course launch a draft
A new course may call for an announcement or update. Create a Curated draft as soon as Canvas reports the course.
Trigger
New Course Created for User
Polls Canvas for newly created courses for a specific user.
Action
Create Draft Issue
Tool to create a draft issue for a publication. use after confirming the publication id. applies default settings if optional fields are omitted.
Why this helps
Course launch communications can be delayed when the new course is created but the newsletter or announcement draft is not started.
- Start a draft at the point a course is created.
- Create a consistent place to plan course launch updates.
- Reduce the chance that a new course announcement is overlooked.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Curated once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what you want in plain language.
- 3Ask Notis to create a draft issue in the confirmed Curated publication when a new course is created.
- 4Pick New Course Created for User as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real course creation event and confirm the draft exists.
