Why this helps
Removing backgrounds from course images can mean a repetitive trip through a separate editing tool.

- Reduce repetitive image editing steps.
- Keep results and processing status in Notis.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and DeepImage once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation for background removal on uploaded images.
- 3Tell Notis to remove image backgrounds when appropriate and report the result.
- 4Select the New Canvas File Upload trigger for the course.
- 5Choose where reports go and test with one real image upload.
Questions about this workflow
Will it process documents and other files?
The automation instruction should limit processing to image files that need background removal.
Can the same workflow handle images that do not need background removal?
Instruct Notis to assess whether the image needs that treatment and skip processing when it does not.
