Align Canvas workload guidance with ClickUp estimates
When the expected effort changes, keep the learner-facing guidance understandable and current.
Trigger
Task Time Estimate Updated
Triggers when a task's time estimate is set, changed, or cleared. `changes[]` carries `TimeEstimateChange` entries only; `before` and `after` are millisecond strings or `null`.
Action
Edit assignment
Updates an existing assignment in a canvas course (identified by `course id` and `assignment id`); only attributes explicitly provided in the request are modified.
Why this helps
Workload expectations drift when estimates change during planning.
- Sets clearer expectations
- Reduces learner confusion
- Keeps planning and teaching aligned

- 1Connect ClickUp and Canvas in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation describing how estimates should update assignment guidance.
- 3Pick the ClickUp Task Time Estimate Updated trigger.
- 4Choose a report channel and test with one estimate change.
Questions about this workflow

Create assignment override
Creates an assignment override to adjust due/unlock/lock dates for an assignment in a course, targeting specific students (requires `title`), a group, or a course section; at least one target (`student ids`, `group id`, or `course section id`) is required.
