Trigger

New Canvas Assignment Submission

Polls Canvas for new submissions to a specific assignment.

Action

Get Projects

Tool to get a list of all projects for the authenticated account. use after authentication to enumerate available projects.

Why this helps

After a new submission arrives, finding the associated CI project can add another manual lookup before you can decide what to do next.

  • Retrieve the authenticated account's Appveyor project list when a submission arrives.
  • Ask Notis to compare project names with details you provide about the assignment.
  • Create a concise reference for the next review step.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Canvas and Appveyor once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve Appveyor projects and identify plausible matches using assignment or repository context available to it.
  • 4Pick New Canvas Assignment Submission as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real submission and provide the project context needed to judge matches.

Questions about this workflow

Will this determine a project if Canvas does not include repository details?

Not reliably. Supply the relevant repository, project, or assignment context in your instruction when it is not present in the event data.

Does the project list create or run a build?

No. This action only retrieves the Appveyor projects for the authenticated account.
