Keep product feedback from Canvas grading connected to Canny posts
A graded submission can include a useful product observation. Notis can look for a related Canny post and add a concise, anonymized comment when there is a clear match.
Trigger
Canvas Assignment Graded
Polls Canvas for newly graded submissions for a specific assignment.
Action
Create Comment
Tool to create a new comment on a post. use when you have the authorid and postid and want to submit feedback or replies.
Why this helps
Useful product observations in grading feedback can be separated from the Canny post where the team is already discussing that issue.
- Keep related feedback alongside the existing Canny discussion.
- Avoid creating a new post when an existing one is the better fit.
- Omit identifying details from the comment.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Canny once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what you want from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to find actionable product feedback, locate a clearly matching Canny post, omit personal details, and add a comment only when both the feedback and match are clear.
- 4Pick the Canvas Assignment Graded trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real graded submission and review the resulting comment.
Questions about this workflow
What happens if there is no matching Canny post?
Instruct Notis to skip the comment and report that no clear match was found.
Can this comment expose a student's identity?
Ask Notis to remove names and identifying details before commenting.
Does this work for every graded submission?
It is intended for grading feedback that contains a relevant product observation. Other feedback should be skipped.
