Catch Every Grade Update and Review Feedback On Time
Grades coming back from your instructors shouldn't vanish into Canvas. The moment an assignment is graded, Notis posts a heads-up in Slack and creates a reminder to review your feedback within 24 hours—no more forgotten notes or missed learning opportunities.
Trigger
Canvas Assignment Graded
Fires when a new submission for an assignment is graded.
Action
Create a reminder
Create a reminder for a specified time.
Why this helps
You miss grades in Canvas because you don't refresh obsessively. Even when you notice, feedback gets buried under other tasks and you never actually review it, losing valuable learning signals and instructor guidance.
- Zero context-switching—stay in Slack where your work happens
- Never miss critical feedback again with automatic reminders
- Catch grades before they slip past your attention
- Review feedback while it's still fresh and actionable
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Slack to Notis (one-time setup via the Notis portal).
- 2Open Automations > New Automation and enter: Name (e.g., 'Grade Notifications'), Prompt ('Post a Slack message when Canvas grades arrive and remind me to review it'), Channel (your personal or team channel for run reports), and Trigger (select 'Canvas Assignment Graded').
- 3Test by getting an assignment graded in Canvas; you should see a Slack message within seconds and get a reminder the next day.
Questions about this workflow
What if I get the same assignment graded multiple times?
Notis sends a fresh message each time a grade is updated, so you'll always see the latest grade and can set a new reminder.
Can I customize when the reminder goes out?
You can adjust the prompt to say 'remind me in 3 hours' or 'remind me tomorrow at 9am'—Notis understands natural language.
Will this work for all my classes?
Yes, Notis monitors all Canvas courses you're enrolled in. If you only want certain classes, you can refine the prompt.
