Resolve coin references in new crypto submissions
See which assets in a new crypto assignment map to CoinMarketCal, without switching between course work and a separate coin directory.
Trigger
New Canvas Assignment Submission
Polls Canvas for new submissions to a specific assignment.
Action
List Coins
Tool to retrieve list of all available coins/cryptocurrencies in CoinMarketCal database. Use when you need to fetch coin information including IDs, names, symbols, and event counts.
Why this helps
Students may use informal names or tickers, leaving instructors to verify each asset by hand.
- Resolve candidate asset names and symbols against CoinMarketCal's available coin list.
- Give the instructor a concise lookup summary for each new submission.
- Flag ambiguous references for manual review instead of guessing.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and CoinMarketCal once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in plain language or in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Ask Notis to identify coin names or symbols present in each new submission and check them against CoinMarketCal, flagging uncertain matches.
- 4Pick New Canvas Assignment Submission for the relevant assignment and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real submission and review the lookup summary.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow grade student work?
No. It checks asset references against CoinMarketCal and summarizes the matches; it does not assign grades.
What if a ticker could refer to more than one coin?
Ask Notis to report ambiguous matches for instructor review rather than choosing one automatically.
