  • Extracts readable information from supported uploaded documents.
  • Uses automatic classification for different document types.
  • Reduces manual file opening and review.

  • 1Connect Canvas and Eagle doc once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis to create one from a channel.
  • 3Describe that new course uploads should be processed with OCR and summarized with their document type and key extracted details.
  • 4Pick the New Canvas File Upload trigger for the relevant course.
  • 5Choose a report channel and test with one real uploaded file.
