  • Keep uncertain or incomplete matches visible for follow-up.

Setup

  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
  • 3Ask Notis in one instruction to list Draftable comparisons when a new submission arrives and identify any likely related records.
  • 4Pick New Canvas Assignment Submission as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real submission and check that the report distinguishes confirmed details from assumptions.

Questions about this workflow

Can it compare the new submission against the prior version?

The available action only lists comparisons. It cannot create a comparison or guarantee that a prior version is present in the list.

What if there are many comparisons?

The action supports a paginated list. Ask Notis to review relevant pages and report what it found, while noting any remaining pages it did not inspect.
