Why this helps
A new course can mean new review responsibilities, while existing document comparisons are easy to overlook.
- Prompt an inventory view when a course is created.
- Make existing comparison context easier to notice at course kickoff.
- Avoid claiming course specific matches without identifying details.
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.
- 3Ask Notis in one instruction to list Draftable comparisons for review when a course is created and state whether course relevance can be established.
- 4Pick New Course Created for User as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real course creation event and check how the automation reports uncertain matches.
Questions about this workflow
Can it filter comparisons to the new course?
The provided Draftable action lists comparisons, and no course filter is specified. It can only identify relevance if the returned details support it.
Is this useful if the course has no related files yet?
Yes. The report can still show that no relevant comparisons were identifiable from the available list, helping make the missing context explicit.
