Attach course materials as credential evidence

Course materials can support a learner's credential record. Notis can create an Accredible evidence item from a relevant upload when the credential id and evidence context are known.

Trigger

New Canvas File Upload

Polls a Canvas course for new file uploads.

Action

Create Evidence Item

Tool to create a new evidence item for a credential. use after confirming credential id.

Why this helps

Supporting files can remain in the course space while the related credential record lacks the evidence that explains it.

  • Connect relevant uploaded materials with existing credentials.
  • Reduce manual transfer of supporting evidence details.
  • Keep the required credential id and evidence criteria explicit.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Canvas and Accredible certificates once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation defining which uploads count as evidence and how to identify the credential id.
  • 3Pick New Canvas File Upload as the trigger.
  • 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
  • 5Test with one real upload and confirm evidence is attached to the intended credential.

Questions about this workflow

Will all course uploads be attached as evidence?

Set criteria for relevant uploads in the instruction. A file upload alone does not establish that it supports a credential.

Does the credential need to exist first?

Yes. The evidence action requires a confirmed credential id.
