Keep Canvas assignments aligned with ClickUp status
Let a status change trigger the right Canvas assignment update without manual checking.
Trigger
Task Status Updated
Triggers when a task's status changes. `changes[]` carries `StatusChange` entries only — ClickUp pre-filters server-side by event type. Lower traffic than subscribing to `CLICKUP_TASK_UPDATED` and pattern-matching `StatusChange`.
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
Status changes get lost between project tracking and course delivery.
- Keeps course information current
- Cuts status-checking work
- Creates an auditable update trail
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ClickUp and Canvas in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation describing which assignment details to update for each status.
- 3Pick the ClickUp Task Status Updated trigger.
- 4Choose a report channel and test with one real status change.
Questions about this workflow
Can one workflow handle several statuses?
Yes, tell Notis how to interpret each status in the instruction.
What if the assignment cannot be found?
Notis reports the issue so you can supply the matching course and assignment details.
