Why this helps

New courses can represent meaningful organizations, yet account setup often waits until someone remembers.

  • Starts account tracking immediately
  • Keeps course context available
  • Standardizes onboarding

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Canvas and Dynamics365 once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation for course account setup.
  • 3Tell Notis to evaluate each new course and create a Dynamics account for the represented organization when identifiable.
  • 4Pick New Course Created for User as the trigger and choose a report channel.
  • 5Test with one real course.

Questions about this workflow

What if the organization is unclear?

Notis can report the ambiguity and wait for a human decision instead of creating a weak account.

Can the course name be retained?

Ask Notis to include the course name and relevant Canvas details in the account context.
