Verify credentials shared in course discussions
When a learner shares credential material in a discussion, get a verification result without losing the conversation context.
Trigger
New Canvas Discussion Message
Polls Canvas discussion topics for new messages.
Action
Verify Credential or Presentation
Tool to verify a verifiable credential or presentation. Use after receiving a credential or presentation from an issuer.
Why this helps
Credential evidence shared in a discussion can be easy to overlook when you are tracking course conversations and follow-ups.
- Use new discussion messages to cue a credential check.
- See verification results in a run report.
- Keep the review connected to the course conversation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Dock certs once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Notis with one instruction describing what to verify and report.
- 3Pick New Canvas Discussion Message as the trigger.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real message that includes an accessible credential or presentation.
Questions about this workflow
Can it verify credentials mentioned only as text?
Only if the actual credential or presentation is available to Dock certs. A textual mention alone may not provide enough data to verify.
Does the workflow post a reply?
No. The available Dock certs action verifies credentials or presentations; it does not post to Canvas.
