Action
Give Kudos to Users
This tool allows giving kudos to one or multiple users in dailybot. kudos can be given either on behalf of dailybot or the api key owner.
Why this helps
Helpful responses can go unnoticed when discussion activity is spread across course pages.
- Make course support contributions more visible.
- Give the team a lightweight way to recognize helpful responses.
- Tie recognition to discussion activity.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Dailybot once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation and describe: when a new discussion message arrives, give kudos to the teammate identified in the event or named in the instruction for their helpful response.
- 3Pick the New Canvas Discussion Message trigger for the discussion topic.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports, then test with one real message and a known teammate.
Questions about this workflow
Will Notis know who deserves kudos from every new message?
Not necessarily. The target action needs one or more users, and the event may not identify who answered. Name the recipient in your instruction or use only events with a clear recipient.
Does this automatically evaluate the quality of every reply?
The listed trigger provides new discussion messages, but no quality scoring is specified. Define a clear recognition rule in your instruction and verify the event has the required context.
