Track grading concerns that need follow-up
Make the next support step visible when a graded submission calls for a closer look or a conversation.
Trigger
Canvas Assignment Graded
Polls Canvas for newly graded submissions for a specific assignment.
Action
Create task in asana with specific details
Creates a new asana task; requires 'workspace', 'parent', or 'projects' for association, and 'followers', 'projects', 'tags' are set only at creation.
Why this helps
A grading concern can need follow-up even after the grade is entered, and that next step can be overlooked.
- Capture defined follow-up needs as actionable work.
- Keep relevant grading context close to the task.
- Use criteria that match your course process.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Asana once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis the criteria that indicate additional support and ask it to create an Asana follow-up task when a newly graded submission meets them.
- 4Pick Canvas Assignment Graded as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one real graded submission that meets your stated criteria.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis decide what counts as a grading concern?
State the criteria in your instruction. Notis can analyze event details, but thresholds or policies not provided by Canvas must come from you.
Does this workflow change the grade?
No. It creates an Asana task for follow-up based on the grading event.
