Get a scheduled Canvas assignment review
Set a recurring check for course assignments and let Notis surface the details you want to keep in view.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get all assignments
Retrieves the assignments for a specific Canvas course.
Why this helps
Assignment details can be spread across a course, making it easy for a busy course owner to miss an upcoming deadline or item needing attention.
- Reduce repeated manual checks of course assignments.
- Receive a focused summary on a predictable schedule.
- Ask Notis to highlight specified details from returned assignment data.

- 3Tell Notis to fetch assignments for the specified course and summarize the details you care about.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real course and confirm the report reflects its assignments.
Questions about this workflow
Does this automatically know which course to check?
No. Supply the course context in your instruction. The action fetches assignments for a specified Canvas course.
Can Notis compare assignments with a personal baseline?
Only if you provide that baseline. Notis can analyze the returned assignment data but cannot infer history or preferences that Canvas does not return.
