Action

Why this helps

Downloading a submission, finding the right import, and uploading its file manually interrupts review work.

  • Start file intake when a submission arrives
  • Cut repetitive download and upload steps
  • Keep the import process moving while you focus on review

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Canvas and Dromo once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Tell Notis to send the submitted file to the intended Dromo headless import when raw bytes and a signed upload URL are available.
  • 4Pick New Canvas Assignment Submission as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real submission and verify the resulting import.

Questions about this workflow

Does this workflow create a signed upload URL?

No. The listed Dromo action uploads raw bytes to a signed URL obtained from Dromo. The URL and file bytes must be available to the automation.

Will it work for submissions without a file?

No file means there are no raw bytes to upload. Notis should report that the file is unavailable rather than imply the upload completed.
