Find a delivery from a Canvas submission

When someone includes a delivery reference in an assignment, let Notis search Detrack and bring the matching job details into one run report.

Trigger

New Canvas Assignment Submission

Polls Canvas for new submissions to a specific assignment.

Action

Search

Tool to search for deliveries, collections, or vehicles. use after defining search criteria to retrieve matching jobs.

Why this helps

Delivery questions buried in coursework can mean switching apps, searching manually, and losing track of who needs an answer.

  • Find a matching job using a reference supplied in the submission.
  • Keep the lookup tied to the assignment that prompted it.
  • See when the submission does not include enough information to search.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Canvas and Detrack once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation and describe the lookup outcome in one instruction.
  • 3Pick New Canvas Assignment Submission for the relevant assignment.
  • 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
  • 5Test with one real submission that contains a Detrack search reference.

Questions about this workflow

Does this find a delivery when the submission has no reference?

No. The prompt should tell Notis to report that a reference is missing rather than guess which job to search.

What Detrack details can it retrieve?

It uses Detrack Search to return matching delivery, collection, or vehicle results supported by the search criteria.
