Trigger

Action
View Last Shortened URLs

Why this helps
Setting up a course takes attention, and useful links may be buried in a separate shortening tool.
- Starts course planning with recent link details
- Keeps a resource lookup tied to the new-course event
- Avoids searching Cutt ly manually during setup
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Cutt ly once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create the automation in Automations, New Automation, or ask Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3Ask Notis in one instruction to retrieve recent Cutt ly URLs when a course is created and summarize them as a starting resource inventory.
- 4Pick New Course Created for User as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real course creation; older links may be absent from the action results.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow populate the new Canvas course?
No. Its Cutt ly action retrieves recent shortened URLs and their details; it does not add anything to Canvas.
Can I get all links ever shortened?
The action may not return complete history. Use the Cutt ly dashboard for a full historical view.
