Move Graded Assignments into Your Issue Tracker Automatically
When a Canvas assignment is graded, Notis creates a Linear issue so you can batch your feedback review without context-switching.
Trigger
Canvas Assignment Graded
Fires when a new submission for an assignment is graded.
Action
Create linear issue
Creates an issue in a specified Linear team with the supplied details.
Why this helps
Grades posted in Canvas, notes scattered across email and Slack, context lost by the time you circle back to provide detailed feedback.
- Centralize all graded work in one actionable queue
- Reduce the urge to manually log each graded assignment
- Create a finite, reviewable list instead of infinite email notifications
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Linear to Notis in your portal (Settings > Integrations). You do this once; every automation will reuse these connections.
- 2Ask Notis in chat: 'When a Canvas assignment is graded, create a Linear issue with the student name and grade, and set it to high priority.' (Or use portal Automations > New Automation.)
- 3Pick Canvas Assignment Graded as the trigger and a channel where Notis reports when automations run (e.g., #automations Slack channel).
- 4Test with one real graded assignment to confirm the Linear issue appears with the correct details.
- 5Adjust the prompt if needed (e.g., add due date or assignee rules) and let Notis handle the rest.
Questions about this workflow
Will this create duplicate issues if the same assignment is graded multiple times?
Notis is smart about deduplication. If the same Canvas assignment submission is graded twice (e.g., you re-grade), Notis will typically create one issue or update the existing one, depending on how your automation prompt is written. You can refine the prompt to be explicit about this behavior.
Can I filter which assignments trigger this?
Yes. Your automation prompt can include filters, like 'only for assignments worth more than 20 points' or 'exclude ungraded submissions.' Just mention the rule in your plain-language prompt when creating the automation.
What happens if I grade 50 assignments at once?
Notis will create 50 Linear issues (or update existing ones) in batch. This is exactly why this workflow is valuable for neurodivergent founders: it prevents the context-switching tax of manually logging each one.
