Investigate suspected grading defects in Jira
When a result suggests a grading process or rubric defect, open a Jira investigation with the evidence and what still needs checking.
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
Possible grading defects can be confused with one-off results and never get investigated systematically.
- Give suspected defects a clear investigation path.
- Keep relevant grading evidence with the issue.
- Separate confirmed patterns from unsupported speculation.
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 name the grading investigation.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to create a Jira issue only when a graded result provides concrete evidence of a possible rubric or grading defect, and label uncertainty clearly.
- 4Pick the Canvas Assignment Graded trigger for the assignment.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real graded result.
Questions about this workflow
Can one result prove a grading defect?
Usually the available event is only a newly graded submission. Ask Notis to describe suspected issues as needing investigation and supply any baseline or rubric criteria it should compare.
Does this update an existing defect issue?
This workflow creates an investigation issue. If you want to update an existing issue, use Edit Issue or add a comment when a match is clear.
