Why this helps
New topics can prompt document questions, but checking file history often requires a separate manual search.
- Prompt a comparison review when a course topic is created.
- Help prepare for document related discussion with fewer tool switches.
- Report when the available comparison list lacks enough context.
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.
- 3Tell Notis in one instruction to list Draftable comparisons after a new topic and report only comparisons with supported relevance.
- 4Pick New Canvas Discussion Topic as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real topic and review whether the comparison summary is appropriately cautious.
Questions about this workflow
Does creating a topic prove a document comparison is relevant?
No. The event is only a cue to browse comparisons. Relevance depends on details available in the event and comparison list.
Can this create a comparison report for the topic?
No. Draftable's available action lists existing comparisons; it does not create comparisons or reports.
