Questions about this workflow
Can this create a new Contentful entry?
This workflow queries Contentful through the selected GraphQL action. Creating entries requires an available write action that is not listed here.
What if the matching record is missing?
Tell Notis to report the missing match and include the Canvas assignment and submission identifiers.
