Enroll Canvas users from Todoist requests
Capture an approved enrollment request once and let Notis apply it in Canvas.
Trigger
New Task Created
Trigger when a new task is added to Todoist.
Action
Create enrollment
Enrolls a user in a canvas course with a specified role and status; `associated user id` is required if `enrollment type` is 'observerenrollment'.
Why this helps

- Resolve access requests faster
- Reduce manual enrollment steps
- Keep approval context attached
