Receive Daily Canvas Course Digest in Telegram
Stop checking Canvas every morning. Notis sends a daily summary to Telegram covering new submissions, discussions, grades, and more so you start informed.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Send Message
Send a text message to a telegram chat using the bot api.
Why this helps
Each morning means checking Canvas to catch up on overnight activity. Doing this as a habit task is cognitively draining when a single message could cover it.
- Start your day knowing exactly what happened in your courses
- Skip the habit of manually checking Canvas
- Review digests on your own time instead of reactive checking
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Telegram to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: "Every morning at 8 AM, send me a summary of Canvas activity from yesterday."
- 3Specify what to include (submissions, discussions, grades, files, etc.).
- 4Choose the Telegram channel or DM for daily digests.
- 5Wait for the next morning and verify the digest arrives on schedule.
Questions about this workflow
Can I pick the time for daily digests?
Yes. Your prompt can specify any time you prefer (e.g., "every day at 9 AM", "Monday through Friday at 8 AM").
Can I customize what goes in the digest?
Absolutely. Ask Notis to include only submissions, or add discussions and files. You control the scope.
What if there's no activity?
Notis still sends the message ("No new activity today"), so you have a consistent routine.
