Give discussion follow-ups a home in Dart
When a new discussion message needs action, capture that work in Dart instead of relying on memory to return to the thread.
Trigger
New Canvas Discussion Message
Polls Canvas discussion topics for new messages.
Action
Create Task
Tool to create a new task in DART with title and optional metadata. Use when you need to add a task to a workspace.
Why this helps
Discussion threads mix updates and requests, making it easy to miss the messages that need a next step.
- Capture messages that need a response or action.
- Keep the source discussion context with the task where available.
- Avoid treating every discussion update as a to-do.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Dart once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a Dart task only when a new message needs follow-up, including available discussion context.
- 4Pick New Canvas Discussion Message for the relevant discussion topic.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one real message.
