Questions about this workflow
Does this create a preparation task in Dailybot?
The listed action sends a message. It does not create a task, so ask Notis to prompt the team to coordinate in their existing process.
Can the prompt include topic details?
Yes, when Canvas returns those details in the event. Check them in a test run.
