Notis

Keep Canvas messages accurate after comment edits

A corrected source comment can update the learner conversation without a second manual rewrite.

Trigger

Task Comment Updated

Triggers when an existing comment on a task is edited. `changes[]` carries one `CommentChange` entry whose `comment` field is the comment in its updated form.

Action

Create conversation

Use to send messages in canvas by creating a new conversation or adding to an existing one; an existing conversation with the same recipients (and matching scope/filter, if specified) may be reused unless `force new` is true.

Why this helps

Edited project comments leave outdated messages in learner-facing channels.

  • Reduces conflicting information
  • Keeps corrections timely
  • Cuts repeated rewriting

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect ClickUp and Canvas in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation describing how edited comments should be summarized and sent.
  • 3Pick the ClickUp Task Comment Updated trigger.
  • 4Choose a report channel and test with one edited comment.
