Inspect Docmosis template details when course files arrive
When a new course file arrives, check the metadata of the Docmosis template you plan to use for related documents.
Trigger
New Canvas File Upload
Polls a Canvas course for new file uploads.
Action
Get Docmosis Template Details
Tool to retrieve metadata for an uploaded template. Returns name, size, MD5 hash, last modified date, and error status. Use after uploading a template to verify it was stored correctly or to check if it has errors.
Why this helps
A changed or errored template can go unnoticed while course files are being gathered for document work.
- Review template metadata at a relevant course event.
- Spot an error status or unexpected modification date sooner.
- Keep template checks close to course file intake.

- 1Connect Canvas and Docmosis once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a Notis automation and name the template metadata check.
- 3Ask Notis to retrieve details for the named Docmosis template after a course file upload and summarize its metadata.
- 4Choose New Canvas File Upload as the trigger and pick a report channel.
- 5Test with one real upload and confirm the intended template details appear.
