Convert currency amounts from new Canvas submissions
Skip the manual rate lookup. When a submission includes a clear amount and currency pair, get a CurrencyScoop conversion alongside the work.
Trigger
New Canvas Assignment Submission
Polls Canvas for new submissions to a specific assignment.
Action
Convert Currency
Tool to perform a single currency conversion from one currency to another for a specified amount. Use when you need to convert a specific amount between two currencies using mid-market rates.
Why this helps
Looking up rates for each submitted currency exercise interrupts review and makes it easy to use inconsistent figures.
- Get a consistent mid-market conversion for each clearly stated amount.
- Keep the conversion tied to the relevant submission for faster review.
- Ignore submissions that do not specify a clear amount and currency pair.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and CurrencyScoop once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis the desired outcome in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to find a clear amount and currency pair in each submission and convert it with CurrencyScoop.
- 4Pick New Canvas Assignment Submission as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real submission that includes an amount and currency pair.
Questions about this workflow
What if a submission contains more than one amount?
Tell Notis which amount to convert, or have it ask for clarification when the intended amount is unclear.
Does this grade the submission?
No. It returns the conversion as context; it does not assign or change a grade.
