Questions about this workflow
Will Notis prescribe a guaranteed fix?
The assignment can ask learners to research a proposed response, but the workflow should not assert a fix that the supplied evidence does not support.
Can I include grading requirements?
Provide your grading criteria in the instruction if the assignment should use specific requirements.
What should be sent to the webhook?
Include the finding, relevant audit context, and the Canvas course.
