Share Canvas Files Directly to Telegram Automatically
Files get uploaded to Canvas, but your team lives in Telegram. Notis automatically forwards new uploads so everyone stays current without juggling apps.
Trigger
New Canvas File Upload
Fires when a new file is uploaded to a course.
Action
Send Document
Sends a file to a Telegram chat; URL-based documents must be PDF or ZIP.
Why this helps
Files sit in Canvas and get missed because your team doesn't check it often. Manually downloading and re-uploading to Telegram wastes time.
- Files reach your team instantly in one place (Telegram)
- No manual downloading and uploading
- Reduce missed resources and broken workflows
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Telegram to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: "When a file is uploaded to Canvas, send it to Telegram."
- 3Select the Canvas course or folder to monitor.
- 4Pick the Telegram channel or group for file delivery.
- 5Upload a test file to Canvas and verify it arrives in Telegram.
Questions about this workflow
Can I filter files by type or name?
Yes. Your prompt can filter by file extension, keyword, or folder (e.g., "Only share PDFs with 'syllabus' in the name").
What file types does Telegram support?
Telegram supports documents, images, videos, audio, and more. Notis sends the same file type that was uploaded to Canvas.
Will this work for large files?
Yes, up to Telegram's file size limits (usually 2GB). Notis handles the transfer automatically.
