Turn a Canvas upload into a collection request
When a course file contains a collection request, have Notis check for the required details and create the collection in Detrack when they are complete.
Trigger
New Canvas File Upload
Polls a Canvas course for new file uploads.
Action
Add Collection
Tool to add a new collection in detrack. use after gathering all necessary collection details.
Why this helps
Collection requests attached to course files can sit unnoticed or require retyping into a separate delivery system.
- Use uploaded request details as the starting point for collection creation.
- Avoid creating a collection when required information is missing.
- Send a report showing what was created or what information is still needed.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Detrack once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation and state what qualifies as a collection request and which details are required.
- 3Pick New Canvas File Upload for the relevant course.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real upload containing complete collection details.
Questions about this workflow
Will it create a collection if the upload is incomplete?
Instruct Notis to stop and report missing details. The action should run only when all necessary collection details are available.
Does this read every file type?
File contents and availability depend on what Canvas provides for the upload. Test with the actual file type used for collection requests.
