Turn AimTell findings into Canvas follow-up assignments

Give the next improvement a clear brief in Canvas so campaign observations do not disappear after the review.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Create an assignment

Creates an assignment in a Canvas course.

Why this helps

Campaign reviews often identify useful changes, but ownership and follow-through can remain unclear.

  • Turns a finding into a trackable course assignment
  • Keeps the task brief tied to campaign context
  • Reduces manual task creation after reviews

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect AimTell and Canvas once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation by telling Notis the outcome in plain language or using Automations, New Automation in the portal.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a Canvas assignment from the supplied finding and use a due date only when the request provides one.
  • 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real campaign finding and verify the assignment in the intended course.

Questions about this workflow

Will the workflow infer a due date?

It should use a due date only when one is supplied. The workflow cannot assume a deadline that the source does not provide.

Does it monitor AimTell campaigns by itself?

No. AimTell exposes no listed triggers here, so a webhook request must start the automation and provide the relevant finding.

Can the assignment go into any Canvas course?

The instruction should identify the intended course context. The Canvas action creates an assignment within a specified course.
