Prepare graded Canvas work for DataRobot
Keep course outcome data ready for analysis by turning an approved export of newly graded work into a reusable DataRobot dataset.
Trigger
Canvas Assignment Graded
Polls Canvas for newly graded submissions for a specific assignment.
Action
Create Dataset from File
Tool to create a DataRobot dataset by uploading a file (CSV, Excel, etc.). Use when you need to upload data files to DataRobot's global catalog for modeling or prediction. Dataset creation is asynchronous - poll the statusId to monitor completion.
Why this helps
Graded submissions can sit in Canvas while someone manually exports and prepares data for analysis.
- Reduce manual export and catalog setup
- Keep outcome analysis data in one reusable catalog location
- Make new graded work easier to include in modeling workflows
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and DataRobot once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to use an authorized Canvas export of newly graded work to create a DataRobot dataset, and report if no usable export is available.
- 4Pick Canvas Assignment Graded as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real graded assignment example.
