Use scheduled research to prepare an assignment refresh
Set a recurring check for the guidance your course relies on, then prepare a Canvas assignment when the material changes or a planned refresh is due.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create an assignment

Why this helps
Course material can become outdated between reviews, and remembering to revisit every source is difficult.
- Recheck important sources on a cadence
- Prepare a fresh assignment when appropriate
- Keep source context attached to the work
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AgentQL and Canvas once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by telling Notis what kind of assignment refresh to prepare.
- 3In one instruction, specify sources, course topic, criteria for a useful update, and assignment outcome.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real run and review any assignment created in Canvas.
