Keep validation outcomes with graded documents
When work is graded, record a validation outcome alongside the relevant Affinda document so the review result is easier to find later.
Trigger
Canvas Assignment Graded
Polls Canvas for newly graded submissions for a specific assignment.
Action
Create Validation Result
Tool to create a validation result. use when recording validation outcomes for a document after parsing.
Why this helps
Review decisions can be separated from the document they concern, making later checks slower.
- Keep a validation outcome associated with a relevant document.
- Reduce manual follow-up to record a completed check.
- Use explicit criteria to make the outcome understandable.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Affinda once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, specify the validation criteria and how Notis should identify the matching Affinda document before recording a result.
- 4Pick Canvas Assignment Graded for the relevant assignment.
- 5Choose a report destination and test with one graded example that has a matching Affinda document.
Questions about this workflow
Can this validate without supplied criteria?
No. Provide the criteria in the instruction; otherwise Notis lacks a basis for a meaningful validation result.
Will the Canvas event identify an Affinda document id?
The listed trigger description does not promise that id. Make the matching method explicit or provide the identifier in the workflow context.
