Trigger
New Course Created for User
Polls Canvas for newly created courses for a specific user.
Action
Update Databricks App
Tool to update an existing Databricks app configuration. Use when you need to modify app settings such as description, resources, compute size, budget policy, or API scopes. This is a partial update operation - only fields provided in the request will be updated, other fields retain their current values.
Why this helps
A new course can require an app setting change, and tracking that update separately can delay readiness.
- Tie an app setting update to a course creation milestone.
- Change only the fields stated in the instruction.
- Report when the related app or requested setting is unclear.

Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Databricks once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation that applies only the specified partial update to the related Databricks app.
- 3Choose New Course Created for User for the intended Canvas user.
- 4Choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real course event and confirm the intended app settings changed.
