Keep every new Canvas submission on your ClickUp task list
A new submission can be easy to miss when course activity and team work live in separate places. Let Notis create a focused ClickUp review task as soon as Canvas reports the submission.
Trigger
New Canvas Assignment Submission
Polls Canvas for new submissions to a specific assignment.
Action
Create a task
Creates a new clickup task in a specific list, optionally as a subtask if a `parent` task id (which cannot be a subtask itself and must be in the same list) is provided.
Why this helps
New student submissions can get buried among course notifications, leaving review work without a visible next step.
- Keep new submissions visible in your task system.
- Reduce manual checks across Canvas and ClickUp.
- Give each review a clear place for follow-up.
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 ClickUp task for each new submission and include the available course and assignment context.
- 4Pick the New Canvas Assignment Submission trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real submission and review the resulting task.
Questions about this workflow
Will this run for every assignment in Canvas?
The trigger polls for new submissions to a specific assignment. Pick the assignment when choosing the trigger.
Can Notis add details from the submission to the task?
Ask Notis to include relevant details Canvas returns, such as the course, assignment, student, and submission information.
Does this grade the submission?
No. This workflow creates a ClickUp task for follow-up. It does not grade student work.
