Examples

Ways Notis can move work from Canvas to Docmosis

View example

Prepare sample data after Canvas grading

Generate placeholder data for a Docmosis template when Canvas records new grades, so you can check that a report structure is ready for later use.

View example

Check report structure for new submissions

Inspect a Docmosis template's parsed fields and repeats when a new Canvas submission arrives, helping you spot whether your intended report structure is present.

View example

Track tagged document activity after grading

Retrieve monthly render totals for a user-defined Docmosis tag when Canvas records a grade, giving you a quick usage snapshot for reporting activity.

View example

Find a document template from course discussion

When a new Canvas discussion message arrives, list available Docmosis templates so you can quickly locate a document resource relevant to the conversation.

View example

Check Docmosis environment for a new course topic

When a Canvas course gets a new discussion topic, retrieve Docmosis environment status, plan, and quota details to see whether document work can proceed.

View example

Check Docmosis connectivity for a new course

When a new Canvas course is created for a user, ping Docmosis Cloud to verify the service endpoint is reachable before course document work begins.

View example

Inspect template details after a course file upload

When a file is uploaded to a Canvas course, retrieve metadata for a named Docmosis template to check its size, hash, modification date, and error status.

View example

Retrieve a Docmosis template after course upload

Use a new Canvas course file upload as a cue to download a named Docmosis template for offline review or authorized editing.

View example

Check render queue when a course topic appears

When a new Canvas discussion topic appears, check Docmosis render queue status and utilization so you can plan document work around current capacity.

Trigger Types

Four ways to start an automation.

A trigger is the event that kicks a workflow off. Notis supports four kinds: an event in a connected app, an inbound webhook, a recurring schedule, and soon, your own database.

Integration triggers

Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,000+ apps can start a workflow.

New Notion pageStripe chargeCalendar event

Webhook triggers

A unique URL per workflow. Anything that can send an HTTP POST can start an automation, including no-code tools that speak webhooks.

Recurring triggers

Cron-style schedules run a workflow on the clock. Daily standups, hourly syncs, business-hours-only digests: the workhorse of Notis.

Database triggers

Watch a row, query, or threshold in your own database and fire the moment the data changes. Row inserted, value crosses a limit, query starts matching.

Why AI automation

Classic automation breaks. AI adapts.

Same triggers and actions, smarter middle. AI handles the fuzziness that breaks traditional Zapier-style workflows the moment a field gets renamed.
