Check Australian addresses from Canvas submissions

Turn an address pasted into a submission into a clearer, verified record for your next step.

Trigger

New Canvas Assignment Submission

Polls Canvas for new submissions to a specific assignment.

Action

AU Address Verification

Tool to verify Australian addresses against PAF/GNAF databases. Use when you need to validate or standardize an Australian address and retrieve associated metadata like coordinates, statistical identifiers, and GNAF data.

Why this helps

Manually checking addresses slows down application and contact workflows, especially when formats vary.

  • Standardize Australian address details for review.
  • Catch incomplete or inconsistent address entries sooner.
  • Avoid retyping submitted addresses into a separate lookup.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Canvas and Addressfinder once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to identify an Australian address included in a new submission and verify it.
  • 4Choose New Canvas Assignment Submission as the trigger and select a report channel.
  • 5Test with one real submission containing an Australian address.

Questions about this workflow

Will this work for addresses outside Australia?

This workflow uses the Australian Address Verification action. Use it only for Australian addresses.

What if the submission does not include an address?

Notis cannot verify an address that is not present in the submission or supplied context.
