Notis

Get current Canvas course details instantly

Answer course context questions without switching into Canvas.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Get a single course

Retrieves detailed information for a specific canvas course using its `course id`, which must be valid, and allows for including additional data fields in the response via the `include` parameter.

Why this helps

Planning requests stall when basic course details must be looked up manually.

  • Reduce context switching
  • Use current course information
  • Speed up planning decisions

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Canvas once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation and describe the course details to return.
  • 3Choose a Notis webhook trigger.
  • 4Select the report destination, send one real request, and review the result.

Questions about this workflow

Can the request include extra course fields?

Ask Notis to include the supported additional data fields relevant to your request.

Does this edit the course?

No. It retrieves course details only.
