Keep post-grading audiences organized

Update a relevant opted-in audience after grading, while keeping individual grades private.

Trigger

Canvas Assignment Graded

Polls Canvas for newly graded submissions for a specific assignment.

Action

Create or Update Group Member

Tool to create or update a member in a group. Use when you need to add a new contact to a specific group or update an existing member's details. The API will not return errors if the address is already in the group.

Why this helps

Maintaining course follow-up segments by hand adds work after grading and can risk exposing sensitive details.

  • Automates group maintenance after a grading event.
  • Keeps grade values out of the ActiveTrail contact update.
  • Supports relevant communications to opted-in contacts.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Canvas and ActiveTrail once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to update only the learner's relevant group membership when identity and opt-in status are confirmed, and never include grade details.
  • 4Pick Canvas Assignment Graded as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real grading event and confirm only the intended group membership changes.

Questions about this workflow

Does ActiveTrail receive the grade?

The workflow should update group membership only and should not send or store a grade value.

Can the workflow message the learner?

The available action updates a group member. It does not send a campaign or email.
