Create reports from graded Canvas assignments

When Canvas posts a grade, have Notis generate the report you need from a Carbone template and the available submission data.

Trigger

Canvas Assignment Graded

Polls Canvas for newly graded submissions for a specific assignment.

Action

Generate Carbone Report

Tool to generate a carbone report from a template and json data. use when you need to render documents in various formats.

Why this helps

After grading, preparing a separate report for each submission adds repetitive work and can leave important follow-up details scattered.

  • Create a report when a submission is newly graded.
  • Keep report creation close to the Canvas grading event.
  • Use a Carbone template with data returned by Canvas.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Canvas and Carbone once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to generate a Carbone report for each newly graded submission using the available Canvas details and your chosen template.
  • 4Pick the Canvas Assignment Graded trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real graded submission.
