Discussion replies can require context that takes extra time to find across separate tools.

- Surface storefront subscriber information for review
- Help prioritize messages that may need a personal response

- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to review DPD subscriber records for relevant context and summarize uncertainty when identifying details are missing.
- 4Pick New Canvas Discussion Message as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real discussion message.
Questions about this workflow
Does DPD subscribers include every course participant?
The action lists subscribers for a storefront. It does not establish that a subscriber is a Canvas participant.
Can this automatically reply in Canvas?
No. The allowed DPD action is a subscriber lookup. The automation can provide context in a run report, not post a Canvas reply.
