Why this helps
Grading creates useful follow-up opportunities, but switching to a CRM to capture each person interrupts the work.
- Capture identifying details while the grade is fresh.
- Avoid re-entering details already present in the submission.
- Skip creating a record when Canvas does not provide enough identifying information.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and CentralstationCRM once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to find the student details in each newly graded submission and create a CentralstationCRM person only when a reliable identifier is present.
- 4Pick Canvas Assignment Graded as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real graded submission and review the run report.
Questions about this workflow
Will it create a contact for every grade?
The prompt can tell Notis to create a person only when the event includes a reliable identifier and represents someone you want in your CRM.
What if a submission has no email address?
Tell Notis which available details are sufficient. If there is no reliable identifier, it should skip the record and report why.
