Retrieve a course credential by ID
Send a credential ID into a Notis webhook and get the Dock certs record needed for your review.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Retrieve Credential
Tool to retrieve a verifiable credential by its unique ID. If a password was used to persist it, include the same password to decrypt and return the full credential. Otherwise, only metadata is returned.
Why this helps
Looking up a credential during a course review can interrupt the flow when the ID is available in another system or handoff.
- Start the lookup from an HTTP request.
- Retrieve a specific credential using its unique ID.
- Include the full credential when the same persistence password is available.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Dock certs once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Notis and describe the credential lookup by the ID supplied with the request.
- 3Pick a webhook as the trigger.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real credential ID and include the original password if one was used to persist it.
Questions about this workflow
What happens if the credential was persisted with a password?
Provide the same password to retrieve the full credential. Without it, the action returns metadata only.
Does Canvas start this automation?
