  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
  • 3Ask Notis in one instruction to retrieve the specified Carbone template by its known template ID when a submission is newly graded.
  • 4Pick the Canvas Assignment Graded trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real graded submission and the intended template ID.

Questions about this workflow

What does this workflow do with the template?

It downloads the original template by template ID. It does not generate a report.

Where does the template ID come from?

Provide the known template ID in your instruction. The listed trigger and download action do not discover the correct ID automatically.

Can it retrieve a different template for each assignment?

Only if your instruction can identify the appropriate known ID from information available to Notis. Supply any needed lookup rules or missing context.
