Follow up on course file uploads with comparison context
When a course file arrives, check whether Draftable already has a relevant comparison to review.
Trigger
New Canvas File Upload
Polls a Canvas course for new file uploads.
Action
List Comparisons
Tool to retrieve a paginated list of document comparisons. use when you need to browse comparisons across pages.
Why this helps
Course file uploads can be easy to miss, and checking for related document changes means opening another tool.
- Use a new file upload as a timely review cue.
- Browse existing Draftable comparisons after course document activity.
- Surface missing context instead of guessing which comparison matches.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Draftable once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to list Draftable comparisons after a course file upload and highlight likely matches only when supported by details.
- 4Pick New Canvas File Upload as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real file upload and verify the report does not imply a comparison was created.
Questions about this workflow
Will this compare the uploaded file to another version?
No. The available action lists existing Draftable comparisons; it does not create a comparison from the uploaded file.
How does it identify the relevant comparison?
It can use only details available in the file upload event and listed comparisons. If those do not establish a match, the report should say so.
