Track Canvas assignment submissions in Bitbucket
Give each new submission a clear place for review and follow-up in Bitbucket.
Trigger
New Canvas Assignment Submission
Polls Canvas for new submissions to a specific assignment.
Action
Create an issue
Creates a new issue in a bitbucket repository, setting the authenticated user as reporter; ensures assignee (if provided) has repository access, and that any specified milestone, version, or component ids exist.
Why this helps
New submissions can be easy to miss when course activity and project work live in separate tools.
- Create a trackable review item when a submission arrives.
- Include available course and assignment context in the issue.
- Reduce manual monitoring across Canvas and Bitbucket.

Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow copy every submission file into Bitbucket?
No. The action creates an issue. The prompt can include available submission details, but the listed actions do not upload files to Bitbucket.
Can I limit it to a particular assignment?
The trigger is described as monitoring a specific assignment. Pick the relevant assignment when selecting the trigger if the Notis flow offers that choice.
