Notis

Review Canvas assignments against open risk actions

Find missing or stale coursework before a compliance follow-up slips.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Get all assignments

Retrieves assignments for a specified canvas course.

Why this helps

Teams may assume an action is covered because a related assignment exists, even when details are outdated.

  • Spot uncovered actions
  • Identify stale assignment details
  • Get a focused scheduled review

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect your 21risk and Canvas accounts in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation named Risk coverage review.
  • 3Tell Notis to fetch Canvas assignments, compare them with open 21risk actions supplied in the request, and report unmatched or stale items.
  • 4Choose a notis_cron schedule for the review.
  • 5Select a report channel and test with one course and action set.

Questions about this workflow
