Turn expense submissions into Brex expenses

If your team collects expense requests through a Canvas assignment, Notis can create a Brex expense from each qualifying submission.

Trigger

New Canvas Assignment Submission

Polls Canvas for new submissions to a specific assignment.

Action

Create Expense

Create a new expense.

Why this helps

Expense details submitted in a course or internal training space can be easy to miss when they need a separate entry in Brex.

  • Reduce retyping for expense submissions.
  • Use your own criteria to decide which submissions qualify.
  • Send a run report when required details are missing or the action needs review.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Canvas and Brex once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation and describe when a submission qualifies and which expense details must be present.
  • 3Pick New Canvas Assignment Submission as the trigger.
  • 4Choose where run reports go, then test with one real submission.

Questions about this workflow

What if a submission is missing expense details?

Tell Notis which details are required and what to do when they are absent, such as report the missing information instead of creating an expense.

Does Canvas provide a standard expense form?

The trigger reports a new submission for a specific assignment. Your assignment must collect the details your Brex expense process needs.
