Apply a review deadline where the document workflow calls for it
Use a supplied review date to set a Canvas assignment override for the intended student, group, or section.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create assignment override
Creates an assignment override to adjust dates for selected students, a group, or a course section.
Why this helps
A deadline change can get lost between a document review and the assignment that needs a different schedule.
- Carry a supplied review date into Canvas.
- Reduce manual updates to assignment schedules.
- Target an override to the specified student, group, or section.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda and Canvas once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to create an override for the specified Canvas assignment using the supplied date and target.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real review request and verify the assignment and target details.
Questions about this workflow
Can an override be created without a target?
No. Canvas requires at least one target: student ids, a group id, or a course section id. Supply the intended target.
Can this invent a deadline from the document?
The date must be supplied in the webhook data or clearly defined in your instruction. A missing date cannot be assumed.
