Recognize submitted work with credentials
A new submission can start a credential workflow for a defined milestone, once you specify what the submission represents and who should receive the credential.
Trigger
New Canvas Assignment Submission
Polls Canvas for new submissions to a specific assignment.
Action
Create, issue, and send credential
Tool to create, issue, and send a credential in a single request. use when group id and recipient details are ready.
Why this helps
A completed milestone can be easy to overlook when credential follow-up lives outside the course workflow.
- Start credential follow-up when new assignment work arrives.
- Apply a stated milestone rule consistently.
- Reduce the need to monitor submissions across separate tools.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Certifier once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Describe which submitted work represents the milestone and the credential outcome in one instruction.
- 4Pick New Canvas Assignment Submission as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real submission, confirming the recipient and group details are available.
Questions about this workflow
Does any submission automatically prove a learner completed a milestone?
No. State what the submission represents and the criteria for issuing. A submission trigger alone does not establish completion or quality.
Which Certifier action handles the issue and send?
Use create, issue, and send when the group and recipient details are ready.
Can this wait for a grade?
This workflow starts on a new submission. For a grade-based decision, use Canvas Assignment Graded as the trigger instead.
