Define access to course topic data
Reduce repeated setup by recording a reusable DataRobot data definition when course topic activity begins.
Trigger
New Canvas Discussion Topic
Polls a Canvas course for new discussion topics.
Action
Create Dataset Definition
Create a dataset definition in DataRobot to define how to access and use a dataset from the AI Catalog. Use when you need to establish a reusable definition for a dataset that can be referenced in projects and deployments.
Why this helps
Analysis can stall when teams lack a consistent definition for accessing course topic data.
- Make source access setup reusable
- Reduce repeated catalog configuration work
- Keep topic analysis preparation moving
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 definition from the configured catalog source details you identify, reporting any missing inputs.
- 4Pick New Canvas Discussion Topic as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one new topic and valid source details.
Questions about this workflow
Will the topic event provide the dataset source?
The listed trigger signals a new topic and does not promise source connection details. Provide those details separately.
Does a definition include topic history?
No. A dataset definition describes access. Topic records must exist in the source dataset.
