Action

Why this helps

Checking a grade in Canvas and then rebuilding the analysis in ClickHouse interrupts other work and makes unusual scores easy to miss.

  • Spot unusually high or low scores against available records.
  • Keep grade analysis close to the moment grades are posted.
  • Surface missing data before drawing conclusions.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Canvas and ClickHouse once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation with a clear name and prompt.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to query relevant ClickHouse records and summarize the new grade in context.
  • 4Pick Canvas Assignment Graded as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real graded submission.

Questions about this workflow

Does this calculate a class average automatically?

Notis can calculate it when the relevant scores are available in ClickHouse. If the query needs a course or assignment key that is not available, include the key or data source in your instruction.

Will it change grades in Canvas?

No. The configured ClickHouse action runs a query and returns results; this workflow is for analysis and reporting.
