Make audience review part of course file follow-up
When course materials change, pull your current list inventory into the run context so you can decide whether audience records need attention.
Trigger
New Canvas File Upload
Fires when a new file is uploaded to a course.
Action
Get All Lists
Retrieve all mailing lists in the account.
Why this helps
Course materials change while mailing list housekeeping waits in a separate place and is easy to overlook.
- Create a timely reminder for audience housekeeping
- Review current list inventory in response to course activity
- Keep the decision to change lists with you
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and EmailOctopus once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and ask Notis to retrieve the current lists for review after an upload.
- 3Pick New Canvas File Upload as the trigger.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real upload and review the retrieved list information.
Questions about this workflow
Does this change a list or contact?
No. Get All Lists retrieves list information. It does not edit lists or contacts.
Can it tell whether a list needs updating?
Not by itself. Ask Notis to summarize the returned list information, and provide any criteria or course-to-list relationship it should use.
Does this retrieve the uploaded file?
No. The target action retrieves EmailOctopus lists. The Canvas event is only the trigger.
