Auto-Label Linear Issues by Canvas Grade Status
When a Canvas assignment is graded, Notis automatically labels the Linear issue based on the grade (high-pass, needs-improvement, etc.).
Trigger
Canvas Assignment Graded
Polls Canvas for newly graded submissions for a specific assignment.
Action
Create a label
Creates a new label in linear for a specified team, used to categorize and organize issues.
Why this helps
Grades are posted in Canvas, but you manually tag Linear issues with grade status. Labeling overhead, inconsistent tags across issues.
- Automatic issue organization by grade level
- Filter and prioritize issues by grade status
- No manual labeling overhead
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Linear to Notis in your portal integrations.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a Canvas assignment is graded, add a label to the Linear issue based on the grade: if grade >= 90 add label high-pass; if grade < 70 add needs-improvement.' (Or create in portal Automations.)
- 3Select Canvas Assignment Graded as the trigger and your notification channel.
- 4Test by grading a Canvas assignment and verifying the correct label appears on the Linear issue.
- 5Refine your grading thresholds if you want different labels (e.g., excellent, acceptable, below-standard).
Questions about this workflow
Can I use custom grade labels?
Absolutely. Define your own labels in your prompt: 'add label exemplary if grade > 95, proficient if 80-95, developing if < 80.'
What if I re-grade an assignment?
Notis can remove the old label and add the new one. Tell Notis 'update the label if the grade changes,' and it will keep issues current.
Can I filter Linear issues by these labels?
Yes. Use Linear's filter feature to see all 'needs-improvement' issues at once, then batch your feedback for those assignments.
