Give every Canvas submission a Box review folder
New assignment submissions can start a review folder in Box, so incoming work is easier to find and follow up on.
Trigger
New Canvas Assignment Submission
Polls Canvas for new submissions to a specific assignment.
Action
Create folder
Creates a new empty folder within the specified parent folder.
Why this helps
Submissions arrive in Canvas while review work and supporting documents are scattered across folders.
- Create a consistent Box location for new submission reviews.
- Reduce the time spent setting up folders by hand.
- Keep review work easier to find.

- 1Connect Canvas and Box once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis the outcome in plain language.
- 3Ask Notis to create a Box review folder for each new submission and include available course and assignment context in its name.
- 4Choose New Canvas Assignment Submission as the trigger.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one real submission.
Questions about this workflow
Will this upload the submission file to Box?
No. This workflow creates a Box folder. The listed Box actions do not include uploading a file.
Can the folder include student or assignment details?
Ask Notis to use the context returned with the Canvas event. If a detail is unavailable, it cannot be added reliably.
