Review report template structure when work is submitted
A new submission can prompt a focused look at the Docmosis template structure you plan to use for course reporting.
Trigger
New Canvas Assignment Submission
Polls Canvas for new submissions to a specific assignment.
Action
Get Docmosis Template Structure
Tool to retrieve a template's parsed structure: fields, repeats, conditions, images, and refs. Use after uploading a template to inspect its JSON structure.
Why this helps
It is easy to reach report creation only to discover that a template does not contain the expected fields or repeat sections.
- Surface the template's parsed components for review.
- Catch structural mismatches earlier in the document workflow.
- Reduce context switching between course activity and template inspection.

- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve and summarize the structure of the named Docmosis template when a submission arrives.
- 4Choose New Canvas Assignment Submission as the trigger and select a report channel.
