Prepare a sample document payload for new submissions
Use a new submission to create sample values for the Docmosis template you use in follow-up document work.
Trigger
New Canvas Assignment Submission
Polls Canvas for new submissions to a specific assignment.
Action
Get Template Sample Data
Tool to generate sample data for a Docmosis template based on its structure. Creates placeholder values that can be used for testing renders. Returns data in JSON or XML format.
Why this helps
Template testing often gets postponed because representative data is not ready when a submission workflow is being planned.
- Prepare placeholder data at a useful workflow moment.
- Make template checks easier to start.
- Keep follow-up preparation connected to submission activity.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Docmosis once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a Notis automation for submission sample-data preparation.
- 3Tell Notis which Docmosis template to use and ask for generated sample data when a new submission arrives.
- 4Choose New Canvas Assignment Submission as the trigger and select a report destination.
- 5Test with one real submission and review the generated sample payload.
Questions about this workflow
Is the sample data from the actual student submission?
The described action generates sample data based on a Docmosis template structure. It does not promise to populate data from Canvas submission contents.
Can I use it to test a render?
The action generates sample data, not a rendered file. Use it as input for a separate rendering step if available.
