Keep course file uploads visible in Dart
When a file arrives in a Canvas course, create a Dart doc to record its available details for easier follow-up.
Trigger
New Canvas File Upload
Polls a Canvas course for new file uploads.
Action
Create Doc
Tool to create a new doc in Dart. Use when you need to record a new document that the user intends to write down. By default, the created doc will be in the Docs folder unless a specific folder is specified.
Why this helps
New course files can be missed when you are juggling uploads, discussions, and project work in separate tools.
- Record new uploads in a Dart reference doc.
- Keep available file and course context together.
- Make it easier to spot uploads that need review.
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.
- 3Ask Notis to create a Dart doc with the available details for each new course file upload.
- 4Pick New Canvas File Upload for the course.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one real upload.
Questions about this workflow
Does the doc contain the uploaded file itself?
The event is described as polling for new file uploads. Ask Notis to record the available upload details; file contents are not guaranteed by the listed trigger.
Can I include a review reminder in the doc?
Yes. Include the note or review instruction you want in the automation prompt.
