Retrieve a grading resource when work is graded

Bring an existing Cloudlayer asset into the grading follow-up when a known document needs to be retrieved.

Trigger

Canvas Assignment Graded

Polls Canvas for newly graded submissions for a specific assignment.

Action

Get Asset

Tool to retrieve a specific asset by its id. use when you need to fetch metadata or download url of an existing asset after its generation.

Why this helps

A useful reference asset can be hard to bring into the grading moment when its identifier is not close at hand.

  • Retrieve metadata or a download URL for a specified asset.
  • Tie an existing resource lookup to a grading event.
  • Keep a known supporting document close to review work.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Canvas and Cloudlayer once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or by describing it to Notis.
  • 3Provide the Cloudlayer asset ID and ask Notis to retrieve that asset when grading occurs.
  • 4Choose the Canvas Assignment Graded trigger and a report channel.
  • 5Test with one real graded submission and a valid asset ID.

Questions about this workflow

Will this find the correct asset automatically?

The Get Asset action requires a specific asset ID. Supply the ID in your instruction; the grading event does not identify a Cloudlayer asset.

What does the lookup return?

It retrieves a specific asset's metadata or download URL.
