Prepare a signature document when Canvas receives work
New work can need a review record or acknowledgment. Create the document while the submission is fresh and its context is available.
Trigger
New Canvas Assignment Submission
Polls Canvas for new submissions to a specific assignment.
Action
Use Template (v2-beta)
Tool to create a document from a template. Use when you need to instantiate a template with recipients and optional prefills.
Why this helps
A new submission can trigger a separate paperwork task that is easy to overlook during a busy review queue.
- Create a consistent document when new work arrives.
- Reduce repeated setup for submission-related acknowledgments.
- Keep the next document step close to the submission event.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Documenso once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis what review or acknowledgment document to create from the submission context, including the template and any recipient details it needs.
- 4Pick New Canvas Assignment Submission as the trigger, choose where run reports go, and test with one real example.
