Notis

Reflect project schedule changes in Canvas assignment dates

Carry an agreed schedule change into the affected Canvas assignment without searching through course settings.

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 project timeline can leave student due dates out of sync with the current plan.

  • Apply a schedule change to a targeted assignment.
  • Reduce date mismatch between project planning and coursework.
  • Keep override instructions tied to the supplied change.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Agiled and Canvas once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and add its name and prompt.
  • 3Describe how to turn a supplied schedule change into a targeted assignment override in one instruction.
  • 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and report destination.
  • 5Test with one real change and verify the target and dates in Canvas.

Questions about this workflow

What information does an override require?

The action needs a course and assignment, a title when required, and at least one target: student IDs, a group ID, or a course section ID.

Can it modify an entire assignment directly?

This action creates an override for a target. For general assignment edits, a different Canvas action would be needed.
