Turn graded Canvas submissions into Jira follow-ups
When grading reveals work that needs tracking, ask Notis to turn the relevant feedback into a Jira issue with the course and assignment context.
Trigger
Canvas Assignment Graded
Polls Canvas for newly graded submissions for a specific assignment.
Action
Create Issue
Creates a new jira issue (e.g., bug, task, story) in a specified project.
Why this helps
Actionable feedback can be buried in a grading queue, then forgotten once you leave Canvas.
- Capture concrete follow-up work while the grading context is fresh.
- Keep the assignment and course context with the Jira issue.
- Avoid creating tickets for grades that need no further action.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Jira once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to create a Jira issue only when grading feedback identifies a specific follow-up, including relevant course and assignment context.
- 4Pick the Canvas Assignment Graded trigger for the assignment.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real graded submission.
Questions about this workflow
Will this create an issue for every grade?
Tell Notis to create an issue only when the grading feedback identifies a concrete follow-up. The trigger polls newly graded submissions for the selected assignment.
Can the issue include the feedback context?
Ask Notis to include relevant feedback, course, and assignment details in the issue. Use judgment about including sensitive student information.
