Add Canvas quiz questions for risk controls
Keep an existing assessment aligned as controls and expectations change.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create a quiz question
Creates a new question for an existing quiz within a course; if `answers` are provided, their structure must align with `question type`, and any `quiz group id` must be valid for an existing group in the quiz.
Why this helps
A quiz can become outdated when new control details never make it into the questions.
- Refresh existing assessments
- Capture new control expectations
- Avoid rebuilding whole quizzes
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your 21risk and Canvas accounts in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Control quiz question.
- 3Tell Notis to add a question to the specified Canvas quiz using the 21risk control wording, question type, and answer structure.
- 4Choose a notis_webhook trigger for new or changed controls.
- 5Select a report channel and test with one control.
Questions about this workflow
Do answer formats matter?
