Turn ActiveMerge documents into Canvas assignments
When a document is ready for learners, send its context to Notis and create the matching Canvas assignment without rebuilding the details by hand.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create an assignment
Creates an assignment in a Canvas course.
Why this helps
A finished document can still need a separate assignment setup in Canvas, creating duplicate work and opportunities for details to get lost.
- Reduce duplicate entry between document workflows and course assignments.
- Keep assignment instructions tied to the document workflow that produced them.
- Use a webhook request to start the workflow when your connected process is ready.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveMerge and Canvas once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from any channel or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Canvas assignment from the assignment details and document context in each incoming request.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real document-ready request and review the Canvas assignment.
