Import course data from a configured source
Use a new course upload as a signal to bring related data from a configured external source into DataRobot.
Trigger
New Canvas File Upload
Polls a Canvas course for new file uploads.
Action
Create Dataset from Data Source
Tool to create a dataset from an external data source connector (database, S3, etc.). Use when you need to import data from a configured data source into DataRobot. The dataset creation is asynchronous - poll the returned location URL to check completion status.
Why this helps
Course data may be ready in a connected database or storage service, but importing it can be forgotten after an upload.
- Prompt external source intake when course data changes
- Reuse a configured connector
- Reduce manual import follow-up
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.
- 3Ask Notis to create a DataRobot dataset from the configured external source you identify, and report missing connector or source details.
- 4Pick New Canvas File Upload as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real upload and a configured DataRobot data source.
Questions about this workflow
Does the upload event configure a database or S3 connection?
No. The external data source must already be configured, and you must identify it.
Does this action import the uploaded Canvas file?
It imports from a configured external source. It does not specify direct Canvas file transfer.
