Give Canvas submission reviews a repeatable ClickUp checklist

Make review steps easier to resume by putting them in the ClickUp task already used for course work. Notis can create a checklist when a new submission arrives.

Trigger

New Canvas Assignment Submission

Polls Canvas for new submissions to a specific assignment.

Action

Create checklist

Creates a new checklist with a specified name within an existing task, which can be identified by its standard id or a custom task id (if `custom task ids` is true, `team id` is also required).

Why this helps

Review steps can vary or be forgotten when submissions arrive during a busy stretch.

  • Make recurring review steps visible.
  • Reduce the effort of remembering the review process.
  • Keep checklist steps with the relevant ClickUp task.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Canvas and ClickUp once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, or tell Notis from any channel what outcome you want.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a named review checklist on the appropriate existing ClickUp task when a submission arrives.
  • 4Pick the New Canvas Assignment Submission trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real submission and confirm the checklist appears on the intended task.

Questions about this workflow

Does this create the review task too?

This workflow creates a checklist on an existing ClickUp task. Specify how Notis should find that task, or arrange for the task to exist beforehand.

What checklist steps will be added?

Tell Notis which review steps to include in your instruction. The checklist is not a grade rubric unless you provide one.

Can it make a checklist for a specific assignment?

Yes. The trigger polls submissions for a specific assignment, so choose that assignment when setting up the trigger.
