Share ready Canvas resources when Linear says go
When a course resource is ready to share, Notis can distribute the Canvas content to the intended people and help you move on.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Action
Create content share
Shares a canvas content item to specified users, if the sender has necessary permissions and receiver ids are valid.
Why this helps
A finished resource can sit ready while the separate sharing step gets forgotten.
- Close the gap between ready and shared.
- Reduce manual distribution follow-up.
- Put approved course content in front of the right users.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Canvas to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to share ready resources.
- 3Write one plain-language prompt identifying the ready Linear issues, Canvas content, and intended recipients.
- 4Select the Linear Issue Updated trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one approved resource and verify its sharing status and audience.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow share content with specific users?
The Canvas action supports sharing with specified users. Describe the intended audience and ensure Notis can identify the recipients.
Should all ready issues trigger sharing?
Limit the prompt to approved resource issues that are intended for distribution.
