Why this helps
Grading creates a natural moment to check for support needs, but unanswered questions are easy to overlook.
- Review existing Docsbot questions after a grading event.
- Bring unanswered support needs into the grading follow-up.
- Use a bot-specific review instead of a separate manual check.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Docsbot ai once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation to list questions for a specified bot and summarize unanswered items.
- 3Pick Canvas Assignment Graded as the trigger.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real graded submission.
Questions about this workflow
Will this workflow answer the questions?
No. The selected Docsbot action lists questions. The automation can summarize results, but it does not submit answers through this action.
What if Docsbot does not return question status?
Notis can only identify unanswered questions when the returned data includes status or another clear indicator.
