Make participant names easier to read in Canvas discussions
Discussion threads move quickly. Standardize names mentioned in new messages to make participant details easier to scan.
Trigger
New Canvas Discussion Message
Polls Canvas discussion topics for new messages.
Action
Clean Name (FIO)
Tool to standardize and parse full names (fio), detect gender, and return grammatical cases. use when you need structured name parsing and declensions from raw fio inputs.
Why this helps
Names written in different orders or cases are difficult to search consistently across discussion notes.
- Parse supplied full names into structured components.
- Return standardized name forms and grammatical cases.
- Reduce manual cleanup when compiling discussion notes.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Dadata ru once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what you want from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to parse any full names explicitly present in each new discussion message and report the results.
- 4Pick New Canvas Discussion Message as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real discussion message containing a full name.
Questions about this workflow
Will it infer a sender's name from their Canvas account?
Only use details returned with the message or explicitly supplied to Notis. The workflow should not assume unavailable profile fields.
What if a message mentions several people?
Ask Notis to parse each clearly identified full name separately and flag ambiguous name fragments for review.
