Give each new Canvas submission its own review document
Keep review records distinct by starting with a copy of a known Documenso document whenever new work is submitted.
Trigger
New Canvas Assignment Submission
Polls Canvas for new submissions to a specific assignment.
Action
Duplicate Document V2
Tool to duplicate a document. Use when you need to create an exact copy of an existing document. Ensure the source document ID is valid before calling.
Why this helps
Reusing one document across multiple submissions can blur review context and make follow-up harder to track.
- Create a distinct copy for each new submission.
- Start from a consistent, already prepared document.
- Keep separate submission follow-ups from getting mixed together.
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 which valid Documenso source document to duplicate for the submission and how to distinguish the resulting copy.
- 4Pick New Canvas Assignment Submission as the trigger, choose where run reports go, and test with one real example.
Questions about this workflow
Does the duplicate include the original document content?
The action creates an exact copy of an existing document. Confirm that the source document is valid and appropriate before use.
Can the submission details be added to the copy?
This action duplicates the document. The listed events do not include an update to document fields in the same action, so provide any needed context separately.
