Bring codebase details into your grading follow-up without reopening the whole project.
Trigger
Canvas Assignment Graded

Action
Ask question
Ask any question about a GitHub repository and get an AI-powered, context-grounded response. Args: repoName: GitHub repository or list of repositories (max 10) in owner/repo format question: The question to ask about the repository
Why this helps
A grade can prompt follow-up questions, but switching from Canvas to a repository to recall implementation details takes time.
- Ask about code related to a newly graded assignment.
- Use the grade event as a timely follow-up cue.
- Keep repository context available for your next response.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Devin MCP once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Devin a specific question about the repository related to the newly graded assignment; provide the course-to-repository relationship.
- 4Choose Canvas Assignment Graded as the trigger and select where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real graded submission and check that the question has enough context.

Does this workflow change the grade or send feedback to the student?
