Check course progress after balance updates
Connect people operations signals with learning progress before workload decisions are made.
Trigger
Balance Details Changed
Triggers when details of a specific balance change (quantity, accruals, adjustments, etc.). This trigger monitors a specific worker's absence plan balance and detects any changes to the balance details including quantity available, effective date, position, or other related fields. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect meaningful field changes.
Action
Get user course progress
Retrieves the academic progress of a specific user within a given course.
Why this helps
Managers often review absence or balance changes separately from training commitments.
- Bring planning context together
- Reduce cross-system checking
- Support better workload conversations

Questions about this workflow
Does Workday provide the Canvas user identity?
The workflow needs a reliable user reference in the event or your instruction to retrieve progress.
Can Notis make a staffing decision automatically?
It can summarize returned data and recommendations, while the final decision remains with your team.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Workday to Canvas. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Workday 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.
Absence Balance Changed
Triggers when a worker's absence balance changes. This trigger monitors a specific worker's absence plan balance and detects any changes to the balance details including quantity available, effective date, position, or other related fields. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect meaningful changes.
Create an assignment
Creates a new assignment within a specified course in canvas lms.
Balance Details Changed
Triggers when details of a specific balance change (quantity, accruals, adjustments, etc.). This trigger monitors a specific worker's absence plan balance and detects any changes to the balance details including quantity available, effective date, position, or other related fields. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect meaningful field changes.
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.
Interview Feedback Submitted or Updated
Triggers when interview feedback is submitted or updated for a specific interview. This trigger monitors a specific interview and fires when new feedback entries are detected or existing feedback is modified.
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.
Job Posting Changed
Triggers when a specific job posting's details change (title, status, posting dates, location, etc.). This trigger monitors a single job posting and fires when any of its fields are modified.
Create communication channel
Creates a new communication channel (e.g., email, sms, push) for an existing canvas user to receive notifications.
Job Posting Questionnaire Changed
Triggers when a job posting's candidate questionnaire is added or changed. This trigger monitors a specific job posting's questionnaires and detects any changes including additions, removals, or modifications to questionnaires and questions. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect meaningful changes.
Create content share
Shares a canvas content item to specified users, if the sender has necessary permissions and receiver ids are valid.
New Absence Balance
Triggers when a new absence balance record becomes available for a worker. This trigger monitors a specific worker's absence balances and detects when new balance records appear (e.g., a new plan/bucket becomes available). Uses snapshot-based diffing to compare balance record IDs between polls.
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.
