Validate email addresses on new Canvas submissions

Check each available submitter email as a new assignment submission arrives, and send the result to your chosen Notis report channel.

Trigger

New Canvas Assignment Submission

Fires when a new submission is made for an assignment.

Action

Verify Email

Check the deliverability and risk of an email address.

Why this helps

A questionable address can turn a timely submission follow-up into a missed connection.

  • Check deliverability while the submission is fresh.
  • See Emailable's detailed verification result in a Notis run report.
  • Keep manual lookup out of your submission review.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Canvas and Emailable once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
  • 3Tell Notis to validate the submitter email when one is available and report the detailed result.
  • 4Pick New Canvas Assignment Submission as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real submission that includes a submitter email.

Questions about this workflow

What happens if the submission has no email address?

The instruction should ask Notis to report that no submitter email was available and skip verification.

Does this send an email to the student?

No. The selected Emailable action checks an address and returns verification details; it does not send email.
