Send Telegram Notification When Canvas Assignment Is Graded
Stop manually notifying students when their work is graded. Notis watches Canvas and sends Telegram alerts automatically, so feedback reaches them the moment you grade.
Trigger
Canvas Assignment Graded
Fires when a new submission for an assignment is graded.
Action
Send Message
Sends a text message to a Telegram chat, subject to chat permissions and flood controls.
Why this helps
Grading assignments in Canvas takes energy, and remembering to tell students individually multiplies the burden. Messages get forgotten, feedback stalls, and students stay in the dark.
- Students get feedback immediately when grades are posted
- One less manual task to remember after grading
- Keeps your communication in one place (Telegram) instead of switching contexts
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Telegram to Notis once from the portal (settings > integrations).
- 2Create a new automation in the portal or tell Notis: "Send me a Telegram message whenever an assignment is graded in Canvas."
- 3Set the trigger to "Canvas Assignment Graded" and choose the specific assignment.
- 4Pick the Telegram channel or group where notifications should land.
- 5Test by grading one real submission and verify the message arrives.
Questions about this workflow
Can I include the grade and feedback in the message?
Yes. Notis reads the Canvas grade and comment, so your plain-language prompt can ask for both (e.g., "Tell them their grade and next steps").
Will this work for multiple assignments?
You can create separate automations for different assignments, or use a single automation that watches all assignments in a course.
What if I grade offline?
The automation triggers when grades sync to Canvas, so it works whether you grade in the web app, the mobile app, or third-party tools.
