Move graded Canvas work toward signature
A new grade can signal that a document needs attention. Have Notis prepare the signer step without leaving your course workflow.
Trigger
Canvas Assignment Graded
Polls Canvas for newly graded submissions for a specific assignment.
Action
Add Document Recipient
Tool to add a recipient to a document. Use after confirming the document's ID. Optionally specify signing order and authentication options.
Why this helps
Following up on graded work can mean switching apps to locate the right document and add its signer.
- Reduce app switching after grading
- Prepare a verified document recipient step
- Keep signing follow-up connected to course activity
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Docnify once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and describe the signer outcome in one instruction.
- 3Pick Canvas Assignment Graded as the trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports should go, then test with one real graded submission and a confirmed document ID and signer.
Questions about this workflow
Does this send the document automatically?
No. This workflow adds a recipient to a document. Sending it requires a separate action after the document, recipient, and content are ready.
What does Notis need to add the signer?
The instruction must identify the confirmed Docnify document and provide the recipient details. Canvas grading alone does not supply those details.
