- See work and due dates in a concise view.
- Reduce the friction of course-by-course checks.

- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to fetch assignments for the selected course and summarize the upcoming work for planning.
- 4Choose the recurring schedule trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real course and confirm the snapshot helps you plan.
