Check email addresses found in Canvas course uploads
Get a quick deliverability status for an email included with a new course file upload.
Trigger
New Canvas File Upload
Fires when a new file is uploaded to a course.
Action
Verify Single Email
Checks one email’s deliverability status; each verification costs 1 credit.
Why this helps
Contact details in course materials can be overlooked when uploads arrive amid other course activity.
- Runs a single-email deliverability check when an address is available from the upload event.
- Surfaces the returned status in a run report for review.
- Reduces the need to open a separate verification tool during course administration.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Emaillistverify once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to verify a clearly available email address associated with each new file upload and report the status; do not infer an address from inaccessible file contents.
- 4Pick New Canvas File Upload as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real upload where an email address is available to Notis.
Questions about this workflow
Can this read every uploaded file?
The trigger description only says it polls a Canvas course for new file uploads. File contents are not guaranteed to be available, so the instruction checks only an address available to Notis.
What does the action return?
Verify Single Email returns a plain text deliverability status and requires one credit per verification.
Will it validate a list in the uploaded file?
No. This workflow uses the single email action. Bulk list upload and verification are separate actions and are not part of this workflow.
