Get a transcript when course audio is uploaded to Canvas
Skip the replay. When a new course file is audio and its URL is publicly accessible, Notis can ask Deepgram for a transcript and share the result where you review automation reports.
Trigger
New Canvas File Upload

Action
Transcribe Pre-recorded Audio
Tool to transcribe pre-recorded audio files into text. use when you need to convert an audio file at a url to text after confirming the file url is publicly accessible.
Why this helps
Finding the key details in a recording means replaying audio and switching between Canvas and transcription tools.
- Get text from eligible audio uploads without manually starting a transcription.
- Keep the transcript connected to the upload that triggered the automation.
- Avoid processing files that are not audio or whose URLs are not publicly accessible.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Deepgram once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to transcribe new Canvas audio uploads with publicly accessible URLs and share the result.
- 4Choose the New Canvas File Upload trigger and select where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real, publicly accessible audio upload.
Questions about this workflow
Will this transcribe every Canvas file?
No. Instruct Notis to process only audio files. Deepgram requires the audio URL to be publicly accessible for this action.
What happens if the file is private?
The action requires a publicly accessible URL. Private Canvas files may not be usable; test with a real eligible file.
Where will I see the transcript?
Choose a report channel during setup and ask Notis to include the transcription result in the run report.
