Why this helps
Submission activity can arrive while you are focused elsewhere, leaving useful contact details buried in Canvas.
- Notice new submitters without repeatedly checking Canvas.
- Keep identifiable student information available for follow-up.
- Avoid incomplete contact creation when event details are insufficient.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and CentralstationCRM once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a CentralstationCRM person for a new submitter only when Canvas supplies a reliable identifier, and summarize missing details otherwise.
- 4Pick New Canvas Assignment Submission as the trigger and select a report channel.
- 5Test with one real submission and check the report.
Questions about this workflow
Does Canvas provide every contact field?
No. The automation can only use data returned by the event. Ask Notis to leave unavailable details blank or report what is missing.
Can I choose which assignment starts it?
The listed trigger polls new submissions to a specific assignment. Select that trigger in the automation setup.
