Turn Canvas submissions into timely next steps
When a learner submits an assignment, start the follow-up deadline campaign you have already prepared in Deadline Funnel.
Trigger
New Canvas Assignment Submission
Polls Canvas for new submissions to a specific assignment.
Action
Start Deadline via Custom Webhook
Tool to start an individual subscriber’s deadline tracking via a custom webhook URL. Use after generating a campaign-specific webhook token. Example: StartDeadlineCustomWebhook(account_id='123456', token='abcdef', email='joe@example.com')
Why this helps
Manually noticing submissions and starting individual follow-up campaigns adds busywork and makes timely follow-up easy to miss.
- Start follow-up deadlines from a real submission event.
- Reduce manual checking between Canvas and Deadline Funnel.
- Keep the campaign choice and enrollment rules in your instruction.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Deadline Funnel once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, name the existing campaign and explain which submitter should receive an individual deadline.
- 4Pick New Canvas Assignment Submission as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real submission and confirm the intended learner and deadline campaign.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a Deadline Funnel campaign?
No. Prepare the campaign in Deadline Funnel first, then tell Notis which existing campaign to use.
What if Canvas does not provide the learner's email?
The automation needs an email address that Deadline Funnel can use. Confirm that the submission data or your instruction supplies it before relying on the workflow.
Can I limit this to a particular assignment?
Yes. The Canvas trigger is configured for a specific assignment. Choose that assignment when setting up the trigger.
