Bring recent links into submission review

See recent shortened resources when a new submission is ready for your attention.

Trigger

New Canvas Assignment Submission

Polls Canvas for new submissions to a specific assignment.

Action

View Last Shortened URLs

This action retrieves a list of recently shortened urls from your cutt.ly account. it allows users to view their latest shortened links and their details. note: due to api limitations, this action may not return all historical urls. for complete history, please use the cutt.ly dashboard.

Why this helps

New submissions arrive in one place while useful links and resource context can be scattered across tools.

  • Surfaces recently shortened URLs alongside a submission event
  • Helps prepare a more informed review
  • Cuts down on manual tool switching

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Canvas and Cutt ly once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create the automation in the portal or start it from any channel with a plain-language request.
  • 3Ask Notis in one instruction to retrieve recent Cutt ly links when a new submission arrives and provide a concise review context.
  • 4Choose New Canvas Assignment Submission as the trigger and select a report destination.
  • 5Test with one real submission; the action returns recent links and may omit older history.

Questions about this workflow

Does Notis match a link to the exact submission automatically?

The available action only retrieves a list of recently shortened URLs. Ask Notis to summarize relevant details, and provide any matching criteria or context that is not present in returned data.

Can I use this for any assignment?

The Canvas event polls for new submissions to a specific assignment, so select the relevant assignment trigger when setting up the automation.
