Validate postal addresses when students submit work
When new work arrives, get a quick check that a US mailing address is complete and standardized.
Trigger
New Canvas Assignment Submission
Polls Canvas for new submissions to a specific assignment.
Action
Verify USA Postal Address
Tool to verify and correct USA postal addresses to USPS standards. Use when you need to validate an address and get corrected components including street, city, state, ZIP, and detailed location data. Returns whether the address is valid and provides USPS-standardized address components.
Why this helps
Address errors discovered during a later mailing create avoidable back-and-forth and delays.
- Check US postal addresses close to the submission event.
- Receive corrected USPS-standardized address components when available.
- Reduce later manual address cleanup for mailed materials.

Questions about this workflow
Will this work for international addresses?
No. The selected Data247 action verifies USA postal addresses to USPS standards.
Does Canvas always provide a student's mailing address in the submission event?
The event description only confirms a new submission for a specific assignment. If the address is not available in returned data, provide it in the prompt or treat it as missing.
