Trigger

Why this helps
Checking multiple assignment pages makes it easy to overlook an upcoming deadline or missing instruction.
- See course assignments in one concise report.
- Surface dates and details that need attention.
- Reduce repetitive course-page checking.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.

- 2Create an automation and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve assignments for the specified course and summarize their titles, due dates, and available instructions.
- 4Pick the Notis cron trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real course and confirm the summary reflects returned assignment data.
Questions about this workflow
Can it determine which assignments are overdue?
It can compare returned due dates with the current date. Any other status or baseline must be present in the returned data or supplied in your instruction.
Does it make assignment changes?
No. This workflow retrieves and summarizes assignments.
