Ways Notis can move work from Telegram to Canvas
Turn Telegram questions into Canvas discussion prompts
Move a useful question from a Telegram learning group into the right Canvas discussion so participants can respond in one shared place.
Send Telegram requests into Canvas conversations
Convert a clear Telegram request into a Canvas conversation for the relevant course contact or collaborator, with Notis handling the handoff.
Turn Telegram announcements into Canvas topics
When a Telegram channel posts an update relevant to a course, create a Canvas discussion topic that gives participants a place to engage.
Turn Telegram commitments into Canvas assignments
When a Telegram message clearly describes a learning task, create a Canvas assignment so the commitment has a defined place and due date.
Share Canvas content after a Telegram button tap
Use an inline Telegram button as a deliberate request to share a relevant Canvas resource with specified users.
Add Telegram session plans to the Canvas calendar
Turn a confirmed session or workshop announcement in Telegram into a Canvas calendar event for the relevant course community.
Update a Canvas assignment when Telegram details change
When an assignment-related Telegram message is edited, update the corresponding Canvas assignment so revised instructions stay aligned.
Prepare Canvas enrollment when a member joins Telegram
Use a Telegram group join as a prompt to enroll an eligible new participant in the matching Canvas course.
Turn Telegram reference notes into Canvas pages
Capture a durable course tip or reference shared in Telegram as a Canvas page for learners to revisit.
Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Telegram to Canvas. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Telegram triggers
Canvas actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create account notification
Creates a global notification within a canvas account, ensuring `end at` is after `start at` and any specified `notification roles` are valid.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create appointment group
Creates a new appointment group in canvas for schedulable time slots within specified course or group contexts.
New Message Received
Triggered when your bot receives a new message in a private chat, group, or supergroup. To receive every message in a group, Privacy Mode must be disabled for the bot in BotFather.
Create an assignment
Creates a new assignment within a specified course in canvas lms.
New Channel Post
Triggered when a new post is published to a channel where your bot is an administrator.
Create assignment override
Creates an assignment override to adjust due/unlock/lock dates for an assignment in a course, targeting specific students (requires `title`), a group, or a course section; at least one target (`student ids`, `group id`, or `course section id`) is required.
Callback Query Received
Triggered when a user taps an inline keyboard button attached to one of your bot's messages.
Create Calendar Event
Creates a calendar event with options for recurrence (finite `rrule` series only), section-specific timings, and blackout dates within a specified context.
Message Edited
Triggered when a message in a chat your bot can see is edited by its sender.
Create communication channel
Creates a new communication channel (e.g., email, sms, push) for an existing canvas user to receive notifications.
New Chat Member
Triggered when a new member joins a group or supergroup the bot belongs to, including when the bot itself is added.
Create content share
Shares a canvas content item to specified users, if the sender has necessary permissions and receiver ids are valid.
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.
Four ways to start an automation.
A trigger is the event that kicks a workflow off. Notis supports four kinds: an event in a connected app, an inbound webhook, a recurring schedule, and soon, your own database.
Integration triggers
Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,000+ apps can start a workflow.
Webhook triggers
A unique URL per workflow. Anything that can send an HTTP POST can start an automation, including no-code tools that speak webhooks.
Recurring triggers
Cron-style schedules run a workflow on the clock. Daily standups, hourly syncs, business-hours-only digests: the workhorse of Notis.
Database triggers
Watch a row, query, or threshold in your own database and fire the moment the data changes. Row inserted, value crosses a limit, query starts matching.
Classic automation breaks. AI adapts.
Same triggers and actions, smarter middle. AI handles the fuzziness that breaks traditional Zapier-style workflows the moment a field gets renamed.
Describe it. Notis builds it.
Skip the visual builder. Tell Notis what you want, in plain English. It writes the workflow, you review and deploy.
You · in the Notis Builder
NEW“When a row gets added to the Q4 OKRs Notion database and the status is Blocked, send a Telegram message to the owner with a summary of what's blocking, and ping me if there's no reply within 24 hours.”
