- Lists the accounts Dotsimple currently returns.
- Creates a quick reference for manual launch planning.
- Does not imply that an account can publish a post through this action.

- 1Connect Canvas and Dotsimple once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: list connected Dotsimple accounts and report them as a course launch reference.
- 4Pick New Course Created for User as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real newly created course.
Questions about this workflow
Will this announce the course on social media?
No. The selected action lists connected accounts; it does not create or schedule posts.
Does it know which accounts are appropriate for the course?
Not from the listed action alone. The user can supply any account preferences in the automation instruction.
