Keep credential references aligned with submitted work
A new submission may include updated details for an existing credential reference. Notis can update that reference when you provide the credential and reference ids.
Trigger
New Canvas Assignment Submission
Polls Canvas for new submissions to a specific assignment.
Action
Update Reference
Tool to update a reference by id. use when you need to modify a reference's details for a credential. use after retrieving the reference id to change comments or relationship.
Why this helps
Reference details can become stale while supporting work changes, leaving a credential's context incomplete.
- Refresh an existing reference when course details change.
- Reduce manual edits to credential supporting information.
- Keep the required credential and reference ids explicit.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Accredible certificates once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation specifying how to identify the credential and reference ids and what details to update.
- 3Pick New Canvas Assignment Submission as the trigger.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real submission and verify the intended reference changed.
Questions about this workflow
Can this create a reference if none exists?
No. This action updates a reference by id. The credential id and reference id must already be known.
What if a submission does not provide updated details?
Have the instruction report that no update was needed or identify the missing information, rather than inventing reference content.
