Keep track of grading activity in Canvas
See when grading activity happened and which graders were active, in a short recurring report.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get gradebook history days
Retrieves a chronological list of dates with grading activity and the active graders for a specified course.
Why this helps
Grading activity can be hard to track when updates are spread across days and graders.
- Review grading activity dates together.
- See the active graders returned for the course.
- Keep a lightweight record in your chosen report channel.
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 gradebook history days for the specified course and summarize the dates and active graders returned.
- 4Pick the Notis cron trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real course and review the returned history.
Questions about this workflow
Does this show which individual submissions were graded?
The event returns dates with grading activity and active graders. It does not promise submission-level detail.
Can I compare activity with an expected grading schedule?
Yes, if you supply the expected schedule. The event does not provide an external baseline.
