Bring a known Cloudinary reference into submission review

When the assignment depends on a known Cloudinary reference, retrieve its full resource details by public ID as soon as a submission arrives.

Trigger

New Canvas Assignment Submission

Polls Canvas for new submissions to a specific assignment.

Action

Get Resource by Public ID

Tool to get details of a single resource by public id. use when you need full asset, derived, and related info.

Why this helps

A review can stall when the reference asset and its related details are not easy to pull up.

  • Retrieves full asset, derived, and related information for a public ID
  • Makes known reference material easier to inspect during review
  • Reduces manual asset lookup time

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Canvas and Cloudinary once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis to create one.
  • 3In one instruction, provide the public ID or explain how Notis should obtain it, then ask for the resource details when a submission arrives.
  • 4Pick the New Canvas Assignment Submission trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real submission and verify the correct public ID is used.

Questions about this workflow

What if the submission event does not contain a Cloudinary public ID?

Provide the identifier or an agreed rule for obtaining it. The action cannot retrieve a resource without a public ID.

Will the lookup return derived resources too?

The action description includes full asset, derived, and related information for a resource by public ID.
