Check funded trees at a grading milestone
A grading milestone can prompt a short, accurate update on the connected Ecologi user's funded trees without implying the assignment caused them.
Trigger
Canvas Assignment Graded
Fires when a new submission for an assignment is graded.
Action
Get User Trees
View the number of trees a user has funded.
Why this helps
Small reporting tasks pile up around grading, and impact numbers are often checked separately from the course work that prompted the update.
- Retrieve the user's total funded trees after a real grading event.
- Keep the report tied to a recognizable course milestone.
- Make clear that the count is user-wide, not assignment-specific.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Ecologi once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve the connected Ecologi user's total funded trees after an assignment is graded and report the count as user-wide.
- 4Pick Canvas Assignment Graded as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real grading event and check the reported tree count.
Questions about this workflow
Can this show trees funded for a particular assignment?
No. Ecologi returns a total for the connected user, and the action does not provide assignment-level attribution.
Does this action require Ecologi authentication?
The listed Get User Trees action requires no authentication and refreshes its data every 10 minutes.
