Create credential batches from Canvas submission cohorts

When learners submit the same assignment, Notis can gather eligible recipients and create a batch of credentials, provided the credential details and eligibility rule are clear.

Trigger

New Canvas Assignment Submission

Polls Canvas for new submissions to a specific assignment.

Action

Bulk Create Credentials (V2)

Tool to bulk create credentials. use when batching up to 30 credentials in one call; supports multi-status (207) responses.

Why this helps

Processing a cohort's credentials one learner at a time adds repetitive work after an assignment closes.

  • Group eligible recipients from a common assignment event.
  • Reduce repetitive credential creation for a cohort.
  • Keep batch size and missing-data issues visible in reports.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Canvas and Accredible certificates once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation defining eligibility, required credential details, and how to handle batches over 30.
  • 3Pick New Canvas Assignment Submission as the trigger.
  • 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
  • 5Test with one real submission and verify the created credential and batch handling.

Questions about this workflow

Does a submission alone prove the learner earned a credential?

No. Define eligibility clearly, such as a completion requirement, and provide any completion information the event does not contain.

Can the batch exceed 30 credentials?

The bulk action supports up to 30 credentials per call. Specify how Notis should handle a larger cohort.
