Capture actionable issues from graded Canvas work
A newly graded submission can still contain an issue worth investigating. Route qualifying reports into Bugherd with context for your team.
Trigger
Canvas Assignment Graded
Polls Canvas for newly graded submissions for a specific assignment.
Action
Create Task
Tool to add a new task in a project. use when you have the project id and full task details ready.
Why this helps
Grading does not automatically put a reported product issue into the team's project task queue.
- Create tasks for actionable reports found during grading.
- Include useful submission and assignment context.
- Keep non-issue grading feedback out of the issue queue.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Bugherd once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by telling Notis the outcome you want, or use Automations, New Automation in the portal.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a Bugherd task when a newly graded submission describes an actionable product or website issue and include relevant submission context.
- 4Pick the Canvas Assignment Graded trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real graded submission and review the resulting task.
Questions about this workflow
Does the grade determine whether a task is created?
The workflow uses the newly graded event, but you should tell Notis to create tasks based on whether the submission describes an actionable issue.
Can it include the grade?
Ask Notis to include grading context only if it helps your team understand the report.
Will it change the grade?
No. It creates a Bugherd task and does not modify Canvas.
