Send Interactive Confirmation Button When Submission Arrives
Submissions arrive in Canvas, but confirmation is manual. Notis sends a Telegram message with a button the submitter can tap to confirm you got it, automating acknowledgment.
Trigger
New Canvas Assignment Submission
Polls Canvas for new submissions to a specific assignment.
Action
Answer Callback Query
Use this method to send answers to callback queries sent from inline keyboards. the answer will be displayed to the user as a notification at the top of the chat screen or as an alert.
Why this helps
Students wonder if their submissions arrived safely. Manually confirming each one is tedious. An interactive Telegram button handles acknowledgment instantly.
- Students get instant confirmation their work arrived
- Skip manual confirmation messages
- Create an interactive feedback loop in Telegram

Questions about this workflow
Can I customize the button text?
Yes. Your prompt can specify the button label (e.g., "I received this", "Submission confirmed", etc.).
What happens after they tap the button?
Notis can log the confirmation, update the message with a checkmark, or send a follow-up message depending on your instructions.
Can I track who's confirmed and who hasn't?
Yes. Notis can maintain a summary of confirmations and alert you if certain students haven't acknowledged by a deadline.
