Give each new course a climate impact baseline
Start with one clear snapshot of the climate impact already funded through Ecologi, ready to share alongside a new Canvas course.
Trigger
New Course Created for User
Fires when a new course is created for a user.
Action
Get User Impact
View a user's combined environmental impact, including trees and carbon.
Why this helps
Course setup creates another round of context gathering, and climate impact figures can be easy to overlook or misstate.
- Get one view of trees, carbon avoidance, carbon removal, and habitat restoration.
- Share a consistent baseline as a new course gets underway.
- Avoid manually checking several separate impact totals.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Ecologi once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve the connected Ecologi user's overall impact when a Canvas course is created and prepare a concise baseline report.
- 4Pick New Course Created for User as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real course creation and confirm the report reflects the intended Ecologi user.
Questions about this workflow
Does this report show impact funded by the course?
No. The Ecologi action returns the user's overall funded impact. It does not attribute impact to a Canvas course.
How often does Ecologi refresh these figures?
The overall impact data refreshes every 10 minutes.
