Find the right visual workspace for a new course

See your existing Dynapictures workspaces when a course is created, so visual organization starts with a clear inventory.

Trigger

New Course Created for User

Polls Canvas for newly created courses for a specific user.

Action

List Workspaces

Tool to get all workspaces associated with the API key. Use when you need to retrieve workspaces the authenticated user is a member of.

Why this helps

A new course creates setup work, and locating the right place for its visuals can get lost in the checklist.

  • Review available workspaces during course setup.
  • Avoid creating duplicate organizational spaces by default.
  • Keep the inventory in the run report for easy reference.

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 list Dynapictures workspaces when a course is created and summarize the options in the run report.
  • 4Pick New Course Created for User as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real course creation event and review the workspace inventory.

Questions about this workflow

Does this create a workspace for each new course?

No. It lists the existing workspaces so you can decide where course visuals belong.

Can this tell me which workspace is best?

Notis can summarize the returned workspace information, but the listed action only retrieves workspaces. Any course-to-workspace matching rule must be included in your instruction.
