Connect new course materials with chatbot questions
When course files change, revisit learner conversations to spot questions that may need a clearer explanation.
Trigger
New Canvas File Upload
Polls a Canvas course for new file uploads.
Action
List Conversation Messages
Tool to list messages in a conversation. Use when you need to retrieve the full chat history after starting a conversation session.
Why this helps
New or revised materials can leave related learner questions scattered across a separate chatbot history.
- Prompt a review when course materials are uploaded.
- Surface recurring questions for a follow-up or clarification.
- Reduce manual context switching between course and chatbot history.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and CustomGPT once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis the outcome in plain language.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: retrieve relevant CustomGPT conversation messages after an upload and summarize material-related questions; provide conversation references if the event does not include them.
- 4Pick New Canvas File Upload as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real file upload.
Questions about this workflow
Will it know which conversation refers to the uploaded file?
The event description does not promise conversation matching. Provide a conversation reference or other usable context in your instruction.
Does this edit or distribute the uploaded file?
No. The workflow retrieves CustomGPT conversation messages for review and does not change Canvas files.
