Check Bugbug coverage when a Canvas submission arrives
See the available Bugbug tests alongside a real submission event, then decide which submission paths need attention.
Trigger
New Canvas Assignment Submission
Polls Canvas for new submissions to a specific assignment.
Action
List tests
Retrieves a list of all available tests in the bugbug account. this action provides access to all tests in the account with pagination support. it returns basic information about each test including its id, name, description, and timestamps.
Why this helps
New submissions can expose gaps in an assignment flow, but checking test coverage means leaving Canvas and searching through QA tools.
- Review the available tests when a submission arrives.
- Keep QA coverage checks tied to a concrete Canvas event.
- Reduce manual searching across course and testing tools.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Bugbug once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and describe the coverage review in one instruction.
- 3Pick New Canvas Assignment Submission as the trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports should go, then test with one real submission.
Questions about this workflow
Does this run a Bugbug test?
No. It lists available tests so you can review coverage. Running a test requires the separate Run test action.
Can it determine which tests cover the assignment?
Not from the listed event and action alone. Include your test naming conventions or selection guidance in the instruction if you want Notis to identify likely matches.
