Why this helps
Course uploads can arrive amid other work, leaving instructors to reconstruct why a file matters later.
- Make upload context easier to scan when details are provided.
- Suggest practical checks without claiming to inspect unavailable file contents.
- Keep review decisions with the instructor.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Anthropic administrator once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to make a brief from the upload event and list follow-up checks, while noting when file contents are unavailable.
- 4Pick New Canvas File Upload as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real upload and confirm the brief accurately reflects returned details.
Questions about this workflow
Does this read or inspect the uploaded file?
Only if file contents are included in the event context. Otherwise it can summarize available upload details and state that contents were not provided.
Will it move or edit the file?
No. The selected Anthropic action generates text and does not modify Canvas files.
