Keep a scheduled view of Canvas course progress
Get a concise recurring view of the course progress information Canvas provides for a specified user.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get user course progress
Retrieves the academic progress of a specific user within a given course.
Why this helps
Course progress details can take several steps to find when reviewing more than one learner.
- Bring course progress into a regular report.
- Review the returned academic progress details together.
- Spend less time navigating to individual course records.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve course progress for the specified user and course and summarize the returned details without inferring missing information.
- 4Pick the Notis cron trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real user and course you are authorized to review.
Questions about this workflow
Does this predict whether a user will complete the course?
No. It summarizes the academic progress returned by Canvas and does not promise a prediction.
What if the user or course is unclear?
Provide valid identifiers in your instruction so Notis can retrieve the intended record.
