Create a BigML connector for submission analysis data
When new work kicks off an analysis, let Notis create the BigML connector for the external source you specify and report the outcome.
Trigger
New Canvas Assignment Submission
Polls Canvas for new submissions to a specific assignment.
Action
Create External Connector
Tool to create a new external connector for data sources. use after configuring external databases or search indices.
Why this helps
An analysis may be ready to start while the separate data connector setup remains undone.
- Tie a connector setup task to a real submission event.
- Get a report of the connector creation result.
- Keep data source details in the instruction and avoid assuming submission content is imported.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and BigML once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, identify the configured external source and ask Notis to create a BigML connector when a new submission arrives.
- 4Pick New Canvas Assignment Submission as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real submission and verify the connector result.
Questions about this workflow
Will this connect directly to the Canvas submission?
No. The action creates a connector for an external data source. It does not specify a Canvas import or submission transfer.
Can I create a connector without configuring the source first?
The action description says to use connector creation after configuring external databases or search indices. Have the relevant source ready and include its supported details in your instruction.
