Handle assignment date exceptions with a targeted override
When a web change affects a course deadline, create the relevant date adjustment with the intended audience clearly identified.
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 changed external deadline can require a course adjustment that is easy to miss or apply inconsistently.
- Create an override for a known assignment and specified target.
- Apply relevant date changes without editing every learner separately.
- Keep the reason and source of the change available in the workflow context.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agenty and Canvas once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation that prepares an override only when the assignment and target are identified.
- 3Pick the Notis webhook trigger used by your Agenty workflow.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real change and verify the assignment and target before relying on it.
Questions about this workflow
Can this apply an override to an entire course?
The action requires a target such as student ids, a group, or a course section. Provide the intended target and a title when required.
Will it guess the assignment from a webpage?
Only act when the Agenty result or your instruction identifies the relevant assignment and course. Otherwise have the workflow request review.
