Action

Get user assignment analytics

Fetches detailed assignment-level analytics for a specific student in a designated course, including submission details and class performance statistics.

Why this helps

Finding a student's assignment progress across course analytics takes repeated context switching.

  • Gather assignment-level details in one report.
  • Review submission information Canvas returns.
  • Reduce repeated navigation across analytics.

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 assignment analytics for the specified student and course and summarize the returned submission and class performance details.
  • 4Pick the Notis cron trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real student and course you are authorized to review.

Questions about this workflow

Does this make interventions or contact the student?

No. It retrieves and summarizes analytics only.

Can it infer why a student is struggling?

No. The analytics provide reported activity and performance details, not a confirmed explanation.
