See recent CircleCI activity while grading
When a submission is graded, bring the project's pipeline list into the same workflow so build activity is easier to review alongside course progress.
Trigger
Canvas Assignment Graded
Polls Canvas for newly graded submissions for a specific assignment.
Action
List Pipelines for Project
Tool to list all pipelines for a specific project. use when you need to retrieve the pipelines for a project (e.g., to display recent runs on a dashboard).
Why this helps
Switching between Canvas and CircleCI to check recent project activity interrupts grading and adds another manual check.
- Retrieve recent pipelines when a grading event occurs.
- Keep the project activity check attached to the grading workflow.
- Reduce context switching between course and build tools.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and CircleCI once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what you want from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, name the CircleCI project whose recent pipelines you want to review after grading.
- 4Choose Canvas Assignment Graded as the trigger, then choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real grading event and confirm the report lists the intended project's pipelines.
Questions about this workflow
Does this retrieve a pipeline for the exact submission?
No. The available CircleCI action lists pipelines for a project. It does not link a specific Canvas submission to a specific pipeline.
Can the workflow report only failed pipelines?
The action retrieves the project's pipelines. You can ask Notis to summarize returned statuses, but any status filtering depends on the data returned.
Can I use this with non-coding courses?
It is most useful when the graded assignment has a related CircleCI project whose recent activity you want to review.
