Look up the issuer DID for a new course topic
When a topic introduces credential questions, resolve the issuer DID you provide and get its DID Document in a Notis report.
Trigger
New Canvas Discussion Topic
Polls a Canvas course for new discussion topics.
Action
Retrieve DID Document
Tool to retrieve a DID Document by its DID. Use after you have a valid DID to resolve and inspect its DID Document.
Why this helps
A credential conversation can stall when you have to leave the course and manually look up issuer details.
- Cue a DID Document lookup from a new topic.
- Keep the returned issuer details in a run report.
- Make the issuer DID explicit in the automation instruction.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Dock certs once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Notis and include the issuer DID to look up in one instruction.
- 3Pick New Canvas Discussion Topic as the trigger.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real topic and a valid issuer DID.
Questions about this workflow
Does the topic event provide an issuer DID?
The listed event only polls for new discussion topics. Supply the DID in your instruction or other available context.
Can Dock certs discover the DID automatically?
The selected action retrieves a DID Document by DID, so the workflow needs a valid DID to look up.
