Review document layouts as a new course is created
A new course brings new materials and formats. Check the Docparser layouts you already have as part of getting its document workflow ready.
Trigger
New Course Created for User
Polls Canvas for newly created courses for a specific user.
Action
Get Parser Models
Tool to retrieve all model layouts for a specific parser. Use when you need to list different layout configurations within a parser that help handle document variations.
Why this helps
Course setup can overlook parser configurations until documents start arriving and someone has to stop to investigate.
- Review existing parser configurations during course setup.
- Identify layout gaps before course documents accumulate.
- Keep document preparation connected to the new course context.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Docparser once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it from your usual channel.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction, naming the parser whose layouts to review and what course context to include.
- 4Pick New Course Created for User as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real course creation and confirm the layout report provides useful setup context.
Questions about this workflow
Can this action review every Docparser parser in the account?
The layouts action takes a specific parser. If you need to review several, name the parsers or use the parser list action as a separate workflow.
Does the workflow add layouts for the new course?
No. It retrieves existing model layouts for review and does not create or edit them.
Will it know the course's document types?
Only if that information is available in the event context or supplied in your instruction. The workflow cannot assume which documents a course will use.
