Give each new Canvas submission a visual review aid
Turn a submission notification into a Canva design that helps you prepare for a focused review.
Trigger
New Canvas Assignment Submission
Polls Canvas for new submissions to a specific assignment.
Action
Create canva design with optional asset
Create a new canva design using a preset or custom dimensions, and add an asset with `asset id` from a user's project using relevant apis.
Why this helps
A queue of new submissions can be hard to triage when assignment context is scattered across tabs.
- Create a consistent review starting point.
- Keep the submission context visible while reviewing.
- Spend less time preparing materials by hand.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Canva once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Canva review aid using available assignment and submission details, without inventing missing information.
- 4Pick New Canvas Assignment Submission as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real submission.
Questions about this workflow
Will Canva receive the student's submission itself?
The action creates a design. The automation can use information returned by the Canvas trigger; specify whether you want a checklist, review outline, or another aid.
Can it include a rubric?
Only if rubric details are available to the automation. If they are not returned, include the rubric context in your instruction or source material.
