Action
Upload Media Asset

Why this helps
Useful images in discussion threads can disappear into conversation history before anyone reuses them.
- Collect relevant visuals as they appear in discussion.
- Reduce manual retrieval from long conversation threads.
- Keep the uploaded asset available in the selected Dynapictures workspace.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Dynapictures 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 upload an image included in the new discussion message as a Dynapictures media asset and report when no image is present.
- 4Pick New Canvas Discussion Message as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real discussion message that contains an image.
Questions about this workflow
Will this save every message attachment?
The instruction should specify the images worth keeping. The listed Dynapictures action is for uploading an image as a media asset.
Does uploading an image publish it to the course?
No. The action creates a Dynapictures media asset. It does not post content to Canvas.
