Review Bible passages alongside new submissions
When a submission raises a scriptural topic, start a relevant passage search without breaking your grading flow.
Trigger
New Canvas Assignment Submission
Polls Canvas for new submissions to a specific assignment.
Action
Search Verses
Tool to search for verses containing a specified query within a version.
Why this helps
A submission may bring up a scripture topic that takes extra time to look up while reviewing student work.
- Find passages connected to scriptural themes surfaced in new work.
- Keep the submission and search results together in the run report.
- Use results as review material without automatically inserting them into feedback.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Api bible once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe the outcome in one instruction.
- 3Choose the New Canvas Assignment Submission trigger for the relevant assignment.
- 4Choose where run reports go, then test with one real submission that discusses scripture.
Questions about this workflow
Will every submission produce useful verses?
No. The instruction should limit searches to submissions that raise a scriptural topic or question, and some topics may not return a useful match.
Can it write feedback to the student?
This package searches verses and returns results for review. It does not post feedback to Canvas.
