Set up reusable access for course data
Capture how course data should be accessed in DataRobot when a new course is created, using source details you already know.
Trigger
New Course Created for User
Polls Canvas for newly created courses for a specific user.
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
New courses can start without a consistent data access definition, creating avoidable setup work later.
- Prompt data access setup at course launch
- Reduce repeated catalog definition work
- Create a consistent starting point for later analysis
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 definition for the source details you provide, and report if the new course source is not yet configured.
- 4Pick New Course Created for User as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real course creation and valid source details.

Does this automatically discover the course's data source?
No. The trigger reports a course creation. Provide or configure the DataRobot source details.
Will this create a DataRobot dataset too?
