Give your team a weekly opportunity review in Canvas

Start the week with a focused opportunity digest in the Canvas course where your team coordinates follow-up.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Create discussion topic

Creates a new discussion topic in a specified canvas course, allowing comprehensive configuration of its content, type, publication settings, engagement features, and associations.

Why this helps

Pipeline reviews require manual searching and copying before the team can focus on decisions.

  • Bring relevant opportunity context into a shared discussion.
  • Reduce preparation time for recurring pipeline reviews.
  • Give the team a place to discuss next steps.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Salesforce and Canvas once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose New Automation.
  • 3Tell Notis which opportunities to summarize and which Canvas course discussion to create.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real example and confirm the digest includes the details needed for review.

Questions about this workflow

Can Notis find opportunities that need attention?

Describe the criteria in your instruction. The workflow can only use Salesforce data available to Notis through the connected integration.

Does the schedule replace a Salesforce trigger?

Yes. This workflow starts on a recurring schedule and asks Notis to review opportunity data at that time.
