Get concise summaries of audio assignment submissions
For assignments that accept recorded responses, ask Notis to summarize eligible submitted audio with Deepgram and put the result in your chosen report channel.
Trigger
New Canvas Assignment Submission
Polls Canvas for new submissions to a specific assignment.
Action
Summarize Audio
Tool to generate concise summaries from audio content. use when you need a quick summary of audio after confirming the file url is publicly accessible.
Why this helps
Listening to each recorded response just to understand its main points takes time away from reviewing the work.
- Review a concise summary before deciding whether to listen to the full response.
- Keep the summary tied to the new submission that triggered the automation.
- Process only recordings with publicly accessible audio URLs.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Deepgram once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to summarize new submissions only when they include audio with a publicly accessible URL.
- 4Choose the New Canvas Assignment Submission trigger and select where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real submission containing publicly accessible audio.
Questions about this workflow
Will this summarize every assignment submission?
No. The instruction should limit processing to submissions that include audio with a publicly accessible URL.
Can it grade the student's response?
No. The listed Deepgram action summarizes audio. It does not grade submissions.
What if a submission has no audio URL?
There is no audio to send to Deepgram, so the instruction should have Notis skip it.
