Why this helps
Important grade context can be separated from the Salesforce record your team uses to understand a learner relationship.
- Keep grade details alongside a Salesforce record.
- Include assignment and course context in a concise note.
- Avoid manual copying between Canvas and Salesforce.

- 1Connect Canvas and Salesforce once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, specify the Salesforce record matching rule and what grade details belong in the note.
- 4Choose Canvas Assignment Graded as the trigger and select a report channel.
- 5Test with one real graded submission.
Questions about this workflow
Which Salesforce record receives the note?
Your instruction must describe how to match a Canvas learner or course to a Salesforce record. Provide an identifier if the event does not contain enough matching information.
Can the note include a grade interpretation?
You can ask Notis to summarize the grade using criteria you provide. A threshold or grading context not present in Canvas must be included in your instruction.
