Publish Confluence space content to Canvas
New space content can become a course resource without another publishing queue.
Trigger
New Space Content Added
Triggers when new content (pages or blog posts) is added to a Confluence space. Attachments are not supported at space level; use the 'New Attachment Added' trigger instead.
Action
Create a page for a course
Creates a new wiki page in a specified canvas course, with options for title, html body, editing permissions, publication, and designation as front page (which also requires publication).
Why this helps
Teams publish useful material in a space but forget to make it available in the course.
- Reduce publishing backlog
- Reuse approved knowledge
- Give learners timely resources
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.

- 3Instruct Notis to create a Canvas page from each new page or blog post in the selected space and include the source link.

- 5Test with one new space item.
