Action

Why this helps
Useful course contributions can pass by without recognition when file uploads are reviewed later.
- Use course file uploads as a recognition prompt.
- Apply eligibility criteria you define.
- Send with prepared postcard artwork and approved mailing details.

- 3Describe which uploads merit recognition, the approved address source, sender details, and front and back image URLs.
- 4Pick New Canvas File Upload as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real upload and confirm the recipient and artwork before mailing.
