Track new Canvas courses as Salesforce opportunities

Give new courses a place in Salesforce when they represent a program, partnership, or commercial opportunity.

Trigger

New Course Created for User

Polls Canvas for newly created courses for a specific user.

Action

Create opportunity

Creates a new opportunity in salesforce with the specified information.

Why this helps

A new course that represents a business opportunity can be overlooked if it is tracked only in Canvas.

  • Start Salesforce tracking when a course is created.
  • Include course context available from the event.
  • Use opportunity details and defaults that you specify.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Canvas and Salesforce once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
  • 3In one instruction, say which courses qualify and provide the required opportunity name, stage, close date, and account matching rule.
  • 4Choose New Course Created for User as the trigger and select a report channel.
  • 5Test with one real course creation.

Questions about this workflow

Will every new course create an opportunity?

Specify which courses qualify. The trigger reports new courses for a specific Canvas user.

What opportunity details must I provide?

Provide any required details that are not available from the Canvas event, including a suitable name, stage, close date, and any account matching information your Salesforce org requires.
