Weekly Submission Batch from Canvas to Linear
Every Monday morning, Notis compiles all new Canvas submissions from the past week into a set of Linear issues, ready for your grading batch session.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create linear issue
Creates an issue in a specified Linear team with the supplied details.
Why this helps
New submissions trickle in throughout the week, pulling your attention away. By Friday, you have a chaotic backlog and no clear grading rhythm.
- Batch grading in one focused session
- No context-switching from daily submission notifications
- Clear visibility of the week's workload at once
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Linear to Notis in your portal integrations.
- 2Tell Notis: 'Every Monday at 8am, create Linear issues for all new Canvas submissions from the past week. Group by course and date.' (Or create in portal Automations.)
- 3Select Weekly Cron as the trigger (or choose 'Monday 8am') and pick your notification channel.
- 4Test by manually triggering the automation to confirm Linear issues appear with the correct submissions.
- 5Adjust the day/time if you prefer Wednesday morning or Friday afternoon for your grading rhythm.
Questions about this workflow
Can I change the day and time of the batch run?
Absolutely. Tell Notis 'run every Friday at 2pm' or 'run on Wednesday mornings,' and it will create issues on your preferred schedule.
What if there are no new submissions in a given week?
Notis will check and find zero submissions, so no issues are created. No wasted automation runs.
Can I batch submissions by course or assignment?
Yes. Include 'group submissions by course' in your prompt, and Notis will create a separate issue set for each course or use labels to organize them.
