Keep habitat restoration visible in course reports

A scheduled snapshot makes the connected Ecologi user's restored habitat area easy to include in a regular course update.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Get User Habitat Restoration

View the habitat area restored by a user.

Why this helps

Recurring reports are easy to delay when impact totals require a separate lookup and rewrite.

  • Get the restored area from one Ecologi lookup.
  • Make recurring course updates easier to prepare.
  • Keep a consistent metric in regular reporting.

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 habitat restoration total and prepare a short scheduled course report.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real run and confirm the area is reported as a user-wide total.

Questions about this workflow

Does the scheduled report read Canvas course activity?

No. This workflow uses a Notis schedule and retrieves the connected Ecologi user's habitat restoration total.

Can the total be attributed to one course?

No. The available action returns the user's total restored habitat area, not a course-specific figure.
