Create Canvas assignments from parsed email requests
Send a parsed assignment request to Notis and get a Canvas assignment ready for a quick 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
Assignment details arrive in emails, then need to be retyped into Canvas while other work piles up.
- Avoid retyping parsed assignment details
- Keep assignment creation close to the original request
- Review the created assignment in Canvas
