Prepare document fields when work is submitted
Submission review can surface missing signature fields. Let Notis prepare the fields on the document you identify.
Trigger
New Canvas Assignment Submission
Polls Canvas for new submissions to a specific assignment.
Action
Create Document Fields
Tool to create one or more fields on a document. Use after fetching a document to add fields before sending.
Why this helps
Document preparation gets delayed when submission review and signature setup happen in separate places.
- Turn new submission activity into a preparation prompt
- Reduce manual field setup transitions
- Keep document edits tied to the right submission
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 state which fields to create and on which confirmed document.
- 3Pick New Canvas Assignment Submission as the trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports should go, then test with one real submission and a fetched document.
Questions about this workflow
Can the Canvas submission itself create a Docnify document?
The listed action creates fields on a document. You need to provide or identify an existing Docnify document.
Can Notis infer which fields are needed?
Only if your instruction or available document context specifies them. The event description does not include signature requirements.
