Apply assignment updates without retyping
Once a change is approved, send it through and let Notis update the existing Canvas assignment.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Edit assignment
Updates an existing assignment in a canvas course (identified by `course id` and `assignment id`); only attributes explicitly provided in the request are modified.
Why this helps
Approved corrections still take time when every field must be edited manually.
- Shortens correction time
- Preserves an approval step
- Reduces transcription errors
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect 0CodeKit and Canvas in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Apply approved assignment update.
- 3Tell Notis to update only the attributes explicitly included in each approved webhook payload.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one approved assignment change.
Questions about this workflow
Can it update only one attribute?
