Keep a Convolo tutor character aligned with incoming submissions
New submissions can reveal where learners need clearer guidance. Ask Notis to review available context and update a designated character when there is a supported reason.
Trigger
New Canvas Assignment Submission
Polls Canvas for new submissions to a specific assignment.
Action
Upload Knowledge Bank File
Tool to upload a knowledge bank file. Use when you have a file ready to add to Convolo AI's knowledge bank (Enterprise plan only).
Why this helps
It can be hard to keep a course support character aligned with learner needs while assignments continue to arrive.
- Use assignment activity as a cue to review tutor character details.
- Focus updates on a character you identify in your instruction.
- Avoid unsupported changes by requiring relevant context.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Convolo AI once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what you want from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, name the existing tutor character and specify what context should justify an update.
- 4Pick the New Canvas Assignment Submission trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real submission and review the resulting update.
Questions about this workflow
Does this automatically grade the assignment?
No. The Canvas event detects new submissions; the Convolo action updates character details.
What if submission details are not available to the automation?
Ask Notis to make no update unless it has enough relevant information. Any missing context should be supplied in your instruction.
Can this update an existing character's backstory instead?
Yes. The Update Character Backstory action is available for that specific purpose, if the intended change is to the backstory.
