Follow up with new Zoom participants in Canvas
Make post-meeting follow-up timely without keeping another list.
Trigger
New Meeting Participant
Triggers when a new participant appears in a past meeting's participant report.
Action
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.
Why this helps
New attendees can miss resources because follow-up depends on someone remembering to message them.
- Reach new participants quickly
- Standardize resource sharing
- Reduce manual attendee tracking
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Zoom and Canvas once in Notis.
- 2Create the automation and describe the follow-up message.
- 3Tell Notis who should receive the Canvas conversation and what resources to mention.
- 4Pick New Meeting Participant as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one participant report entry.
Questions about this workflow
Can it message only a specific course group?
Yes. Specify the Canvas recipients or scope in the plain language instruction.
Will it expose private participant data?
Ask Notis to include only the participant details needed for the follow-up and follow your access rules.
