Keep assignment instructions aligned with verified guidance
Give Notis the assignment and source to check. It researches the guidance and applies the specific change you request in Canvas.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Edit assignment
Updates an existing assignment in a Canvas course.
Why this helps
Updating assignment instructions after guidance changes can get lost among other course tasks.
- Check the source before revising
- Apply a specific update to an existing assignment
- Keep course instructions current
Setup

- 2Create an automation by telling Notis what assignment change to make.
- 3In one instruction, provide the course and assignment ids, source URL, and the exact change to apply.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real assignment and verify the updated details in Canvas.
Questions about this workflow
Will it rewrite the whole assignment?
Only provide the change you want made. The Canvas action modifies attributes included in the request.
Can it check an official source first?
Yes. Include the source URL and ask AgentQL to verify the relevant guidance before the requested update.
