Bring item details into the submission review

Get a useful inventory record alongside the moment new work arrives, without searching a second system.

Trigger

New Canvas Assignment Submission

Polls Canvas for new submissions to a specific assignment.

Action

Get Item

Tool to retrieve a specific item (barcode) by ID. Use when you need detailed information about a single item including its attributes, pricing, and inventory quantities.

Why this helps

A new submission can prompt an equipment or materials check, but the details are easy to lose while moving between course and inventory tools.

  • Retrieve a specific Boxhero item record when new work arrives.
  • Keep relevant product details close to a submission review.
  • Reduce manual lookups for equipment or materials.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Canvas and Boxhero once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis the outcome in plain language.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve the relevant Boxhero item details when an assignment submission arrives.
  • 4Pick New Canvas Assignment Submission as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real submission and confirm the report includes useful item details.

Questions about this workflow

Can it retrieve every item automatically?

The Boxhero action retrieves a specific item by ID. State how Notis should identify the item, or supply its ID in the instruction or available context.

Does this grade the submission?

No. The workflow retrieves item information for context; it does not grade or modify Canvas work.
