Bring course files into the DataRobot catalog
Route newly uploaded course data toward analysis without manually checking for files and starting imports.
Trigger
New Canvas File Upload
Polls a Canvas course for new file uploads.
Action
Create Dataset from URL
Tool to create a DataRobot dataset from a publicly accessible URL. Use when you need to import data from HTTP/HTTPS URLs into DataRobot's data catalog. Returns immediately with catalog and status IDs - dataset ingestion happens asynchronously.
Why this helps
Relevant course files can be missed or arrive late in an analysis workflow when uploads require manual follow-up.
- Start catalog intake when a course file appears
- Make missing source URLs visible
- Reduce manual checking between Canvas and DataRobot
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and DataRobot once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to create a DataRobot dataset from the uploaded file's authorized accessible URL, and report if the trigger does not provide one.
- 4Pick New Canvas File Upload as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real course upload and an authorized URL.
