Check for a relevant contact when a submission arrives
A new submission can call for a timely response. Notis can look through Amcards contacts and report a possible match or the details it needs to find one.
Trigger
New Canvas Assignment Submission
Polls Canvas for new submissions to a specific assignment.
Action
Get Contacts
This tool retrieves a list of contacts from amcards. it is used for managing contacts by providing details like limit, skip, and filters (e.g., last name, first name, email). the tool returns an array of contact objects containing fields such as id, first name, last name, email, created at, and updated at.
Why this helps
New submissions arrive in Canvas while contact context lives elsewhere, making timely personal follow-up harder to manage.
- Bring contact lookup into the submission workflow
- See whether returned contacts offer a plausible match
- Make missing matching details visible in the run report
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Amcards once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to review Amcards contacts when a submission arrives and report a plausible match or any missing information needed to identify one.
- 4Pick New Canvas Assignment Submission as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real submission and review the report.
Questions about this workflow
Will the workflow add a contact to Amcards?
No. The allowed action retrieves contacts. It can report possible matches, but it cannot create or update contacts.
What if a submission does not include contact details?
Notis should report that a match cannot be established from the available information rather than guessing.
