Add current field findings to course discussions
When a new discussion message arrives, gather recent Datascope findings for a concise, informed review.
Trigger
New Canvas Discussion Message
Polls Canvas discussion topics for new messages.
Action
Get Last Tickets
Tool to retrieve the last 5 tickets (findings) from the DataScope system. Use when you need to view recent tickets or findings.
Why this helps
Instructors may need to leave a course discussion to find the latest field findings before responding.
- Surface the five most recent Datascope tickets when discussion activity starts.
- Give instructors a current view before they respond.
- Keep findings and course discussion context in one run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Datascope once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for discussion support.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve the latest Datascope tickets and summarize only findings relevant to the course discussion context.
- 4Pick New Canvas Discussion Message as the trigger.
- 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real discussion message.
Questions about this workflow
Will Notis reply to the discussion message?
No. This action retrieves recent Datascope tickets for a report. It does not post a Canvas reply.
Can it retrieve older than the latest five tickets?
The selected action returns the last five tickets, so older findings are not available through this workflow.
