Ways Notis can move work from Canvas to Docnify
Get graded work signed
When Canvas grades a submission, add the relevant signer to the confirmed Docnify document so the next signing step is ready.
Prepare signature fields from a submission
When a new Canvas submission arrives, create the requested fields on its confirmed Docnify document after checking the document details.
Check signing status after a course question
When a new Canvas discussion message raises a signing question, have Notis fetch the specified Docnify document to review its current state.
Review signing templates for a new topic
When Canvas adds a discussion topic, list Docnify templates so you can review which established document template fits the new topic.
Inventory documents for a new course
When a Canvas course is created, list Docnify documents to help you review which agreements or forms may be relevant to the new course.
Check template details for a new file
When a Canvas course file is uploaded, fetch a specified Docnify template's details to help decide whether it supports the document workflow.
Resend an approved signature request
When an authorized system sends a webhook for a follow-up, verify the specified Docnify document and resend it for signing.
Review documents on a schedule
On a recurring schedule, list Docnify documents for a focused signing follow-up review, then act on the items that need attention.
Send a confirmed document for signature
When an authorized webhook starts the workflow, verify that the Docnify document, recipients, and uploaded content are ready, then send it for signing.

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.
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.
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.
Describe it. Notis builds it.
Skip the visual builder. Tell Notis what you want, in plain English. It writes the workflow, you review and deploy.
You · in the Notis Builder
NEW“When a row gets added to the Q4 OKRs Notion database and the status is Blocked, send a Telegram message to the owner with a summary of what's blocking, and ping me if there's no reply within 24 hours.”
