- Keep submission follow-up tied to the assignment that triggered it.
- Review results in your selected report channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Abstract once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose New Automation.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to validate any submitter email present in the new submission and report the result with assignment context.

- 5Test with one real submission that contains an email address.
