Review parsed details from new Canvas assignment submissions
When a new assignment submission arrives, check Docparser for its parsed details and bring the useful information into one review.
Trigger
New Canvas Assignment Submission
Polls Canvas for new submissions to a specific assignment.
Action
Get Multiple Document Results
Tool to retrieve parsed data from multiple documents processed by a specific parser. Use when you need to fetch results for multiple documents at once. Returns up to 100 results by default, with a maximum of 10000.
Why this helps
Opening every submission separately makes it easy to miss a detail or delay follow-up.
- Reduce manual document opening and review.
- Surface extracted details alongside new submission activity.
- Make it easier to spot submissions that need attention.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Docparser once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it from your usual channel.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction, including which Docparser parser to use and what details to report.
- 4Pick New Canvas Assignment Submission as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real submission and confirm the reported parsed results are useful.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow parse the submitted file in Docparser?
The available Docparser action retrieves existing parsed results. It does not submit or parse a new file, so the document must already have been processed by the relevant Docparser parser.
Can it review submissions for every Canvas assignment?
The Canvas event is configured for a specific assignment. Choose the assignment when setting up the trigger.
What if Docparser has no result for a submission?
Ask Notis to report that no matching result was found. The available events do not provide an automatic file-to-parser mapping.
