Apply a Canvas assignment extension from an AI request
Give Notis the assignment, eligible student or group, and approved dates. It can prepare the corresponding Canvas override.
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
Approved deadline adjustments can take several navigation steps and are easy to forget after replying to a request.
- Reduce follow-up steps after an extension is approved.
- Keep the target and adjusted dates tied to the request.
- Prompt for required override details instead of guessing.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ai ml api and Canvas once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to create an assignment override only when the request names the assignment, an eligible student, group or section, and approved dates.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one approved example and verify the override in Canvas.
Questions about this workflow
Can it create an override without naming a target?
No. Canvas requires at least one student, group, or course section target, and a title is required for student-targeted overrides.
Will it decide whether an extension should be granted?
The workflow applies an approved request. Your instruction should define approval clearly and tell Notis to stop when it is uncertain.
