Follow up on low Canvas assignment grades with a call
Give students a timely chance to talk through a difficult assignment. Notis can start a Callingly follow-up call when Canvas records a low grade.
Trigger
Canvas Assignment Graded
Polls Canvas for newly graded submissions for a specific assignment.
Action
Create Outbound Call
Tool to create a new outbound call record. use after gathering call and lead details.
Why this helps
Low grades can go unnoticed until a student has fallen further behind, and instructors may not have time to monitor every result.
- Surface low grades for prompt personal support.
- Reduce manual checks of Canvas grade activity.
- Keep the follow-up connected to the relevant assignment and student.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Callingly once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3Describe that a Callingly outbound call should be created for a newly graded submission below your chosen score threshold; provide the threshold and any required call details in the instruction.
- 4Pick Canvas Assignment Graded as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real graded submission and confirm the call details before relying on it.
Questions about this workflow
Can I choose what counts as a low grade?
Yes. State the score threshold in the automation instruction. Notis can use the grade returned by Canvas, but it cannot infer your preferred threshold.
Does Canvas provide a phone number for every student?
Not necessarily. Confirm that the student phone number and any other details required to create a Callingly call are available to Notis.
Will it call on every grade?
The instruction should limit calls to the threshold you specify. Test with a real graded submission to confirm the condition and call details.
