Turn grading follow-up into a Box task

If a graded submission needs another step, create a Box task to put that follow-up on your radar.

Trigger

Canvas Assignment Graded

Polls Canvas for newly graded submissions for a specific assignment.

Action

Assign task

Assigns a task to a user. a task can be assigned to more than one user by creating multiple assignments.

Why this helps

Review follow-ups can be forgotten after attention shifts from grading to the next task.

  • Give follow-up work a visible Box task.
  • Reduce reliance on memory after grading.
  • Keep task details tied to a relevant Box item.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Canvas and Box once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation and describe which grading outcomes require a follow-up task.
  • 3Ask Notis to create and assign a Box task on the relevant item when available grading context meets that instruction.
  • 4Choose Canvas Assignment Graded as the trigger.
  • 5Choose a report channel and test with one real graded submission.

Questions about this workflow

Can this create a task only for certain grades?

You can describe the condition in your instruction, but the event must provide the grade or other detail needed to evaluate it.

Does the workflow assign a task automatically?

The Box action supports assigning a task. State the intended assignee in your instruction and ensure Notis has the needed information.
