Find recent Datascope reports when course files arrive
When course materials are uploaded, check whether related Datascope PDFs or spreadsheets have been generated recently.
Trigger
New Canvas File Upload
Polls a Canvas course for new file uploads.
Action
List Last Generated Files
Tool to retrieve all generated files (PDFs, Excel) from a specific date range. Use when you need to access recently generated files within the last 90 days. Date format is MM/DD/YYYY.
Why this helps
Course materials and exported field reports can be uploaded at different times, making it hard to tell whether the latest report is available.
- Check Datascope generated files in a selected date range.
- Help staff spot relevant report exports alongside new course materials.
- Reduce manual checking across course and fieldwork systems.
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 report coordination.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to list Datascope files for the relevant date range and identify reports related to the uploaded course material.
- 4Pick New Canvas File Upload as the trigger.
- 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real course file upload.
