- 2Create an automation with a clear name and prompt.

- 4Choose New Canvas Assignment Submission as the trigger.
- 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real submission and valid click data.
Questions about this workflow
Does a submission event provide clicked object IDs?
Not necessarily. The instruction must identify where valid click IDs and required event context come from.
Is this the action for clicks made in Algolia search results?
No. Clicked Object IDs is for clicks outside search contexts. Use the separate after-search action for search result clicks.
