Enrich Person or Company

Why this helps
New courses can surface useful partnership opportunities, but researching each instructor and institution by hand takes time.
- Summarize available instructor and institution details in one report.
- Spot relevant work experience or company context without leaving the course workflow.
- Flag missing identity details for follow-up instead of guessing.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Datagma once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in plain language or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to enrich the instructor using details available from the new course and report useful context or missing inputs.
- 4Pick New Course Created for User as the trigger, then choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real course creation and review the report.
Questions about this workflow
What if the course event does not include an instructor email or profile URL?
The report should identify which details are missing. Datagma may need an email, LinkedIn URL, domain, or name to return a useful match.
Does this workflow identify competitors automatically?
No. It enriches the available instructor or institution details; any competitor assessment needs a defined comparison set or additional research.
