Why this helps

A new submission can start a chain of checks that is easy to lose among notifications.

  • Retrieve current Boolean states at submission time.
  • Review state and submission context in one report.
  • Make follow-up easier to track.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Canvas and Apilio once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation for submission-time state context.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve Boolean variables and summarize current states with the new submission.
  • 4Pick New Canvas Assignment Submission as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real submission.

Questions about this workflow

Will it set a Boolean value when work arrives?

No. The selected action fetches current Boolean variables and states.

Can it flag a state that needs attention?

Include your expected state or rule in the instruction. Apilio's retrieval action does not supply your personal expectations.
