Find assignment-ready activities in recent course content
Give published activities a path into Canvas assignments while keeping unclear tasks visible for review.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get all assignments
Retrieves the assignments for a specific Canvas course.
Why this helps
Activities described in course content can be forgotten when nobody turns them into trackable assignments.
- Catch activities that need a Canvas assignment
- Keep requirements grounded in source content
- Reduce manual scanning of new materials
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agility CMS and Canvas once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to review recent content and create an assignment only for activities with clear learner tasks and requirements.
- 4Choose notis_cron and set a schedule for reviewing new content.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one activity and one informational article.
Questions about this workflow
Will every new article become an assignment?
No. Instruct Notis to create an assignment only when the source contains a clear task. It can report other items without creating an assignment.
What about due dates or points?
Supply those details in the content or instruction. Ask Notis to flag missing details rather than making them up.
