Move from grading to signature follow-up with a prepared release sent through BoldSign.

Trigger

Polls Canvas for newly graded submissions for a specific assignment.

Action

Send Document

Why this helps

Once grading is complete, teams may still need to remember separate review paperwork.

  • Tie a release request to a completed grading event.
  • Reduce post-grading administrative follow-up.
  • Keep the requested signature step visible through run reports.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Canvas and BoldSign once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
  • 3Tell Notis to send the prepared review release to the relevant learner when the selected assignment is graded.
  • 4Pick Canvas Assignment Graded as the trigger and select the assignment.
  • 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real graded submission and confirm the recipient.

Questions about this workflow

Does the grade itself determine whether a release is needed?

The listed trigger reports newly graded submissions. If only certain outcomes need a release, state that condition in your instruction and confirm the event provides the necessary information.

Is a release document included?

No. Prepare the release in BoldSign before using this workflow.
