Anonymize sensitive feedback from graded Canvas work
Keep grading feedback useful while concealing sensitive text before it travels beyond Canvas.
Trigger
Canvas Assignment Graded
Polls Canvas for newly graded submissions for a specific assignment.
Action
Anonymize Value
Tool to anonymize a string or array of string values. use when you need to conceal sensitive text before storage or transmission. example: `anonymizevalue().execute(anonymizevaluerequest(data=['secret']))` limitations: only supports list of strings, not nested structures.
Why this helps
Reviewing graded work can expose names or other sensitive strings when feedback is copied into another tool.
- Reduces manual redaction before sharing feedback for review.
- Preserves the original Canvas grade and submission.
- Keeps the workflow focused on strings Anonyflow can anonymize.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Anonyflow once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis the outcome in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to anonymize sensitive strings in newly graded submission feedback before sharing it for review.
- 4Pick Canvas Assignment Graded as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real graded submission and check the anonymized result.
Questions about this workflow
Does this change the Canvas grade?
No. The workflow anonymizes sensitive text for the requested sharing or review step; it does not change the Canvas grade.
Can Anonyflow anonymize an entire nested submission record?
The Anonymize Value action supports a list of strings, not nested structures. Ask Notis to identify relevant text strings before calling the action.
