Archive credential PDFs after grading milestones
Once grading signals that a cohort milestone is complete, Notis can gather the published credential ids and request a PDF archive for convenient record keeping.
Trigger
Canvas Assignment Graded
Polls Canvas for newly graded submissions for a specific assignment.
Action
Generate PDFs for Credentials
Tool to generate pdfs for multiple credentials. use when you need to batch-download a zip archive of certificate pdfs for a list of published credential ids. example: "generate pdfs for credentials [10000005, 10272642]".
Why this helps
Finding and downloading credential PDFs individually can turn a completed grading milestone into another admin task.
- Gather multiple published credential PDFs into an archive.
- Reduce manual downloads after a grading milestone.
- Keep the credential id source explicit in the automation.

- 1Connect Canvas and Accredible certificates once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation that identifies the published credential ids associated with the graded cohort.
- 3Pick Canvas Assignment Graded as the trigger.

- 5Test with one real graded event and confirm the archive covers the intended credentials.
