Carry parsed assignment adjustments into Canvas
Keep assignment date updates moving by checking parsed accommodation details and creating the corresponding Canvas overrides.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create assignment override
Creates an assignment override to adjust dates for selected students, a group, or a course section.
Why this helps
Assignment adjustments received in documents or email can be missed when someone must repeatedly cross-check requests and update Canvas by hand.
- Reduce manual cross-checking of parsed date requests
- Apply changes to clearly identified assignment targets
- Review run reports for exceptions and ambiguous details
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airparser and Canvas once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3Describe which parsed date adjustments qualify and how to identify the assignment and student, group, or section.
- 4Pick a recurring Notis schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and verify the override details in Canvas.
Questions about this workflow
Can this create an override without a target?
No. Canvas requires at least one target: student IDs, a group ID, or a course section ID. The request must identify a valid target.
What if the parsed request does not identify a matching assignment?
Instruct Notis to report it for review rather than creating an override with guessed details.
