Create a review form when a Canvas submission arrives

A new submission can trigger a simple review form, giving instructors a consistent place to capture notes and questions.

Trigger

New Canvas Assignment Submission

Polls Canvas for new submissions to a specific assignment.

Action

Create Form

Tool to create a new form in basin. use when you need to automate form setup with name, timezone, and project association; optionally configure redirect, notifications, or spam protection.

Why this helps

Review notes and follow-up questions can end up scattered when each new submission is handled in a different way.

  • Create a consistent review artifact when a submission arrives.
  • Keep reviewer notes and follow-up questions in a Basin form.
  • Reduce the overhead of manually preparing review materials.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Canvas and Basin once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, or tell Notis in plain language.
  • 3Ask Notis to create a Basin review form when a new submission arrives for the chosen assignment, naming it from available assignment context.
  • 4Pick New Canvas Assignment Submission as the trigger.
  • 5Choose a report channel and test with one real submission.

Questions about this workflow

Does this create one form per student submission?

It can, if you ask for that behavior. For a shared review form, specify that instead and describe how it should be named.

Will the form include the student's work?

The action creates a Basin form. Do not assume submission contents are copied into it unless your instruction explicitly asks and the available event context supports it.
