Record agreed assignment exceptions in Canvas
Respect approved exceptions without relying on memory or side notes.
Trigger
Transcription Complete Trigger
Triggers when a transcription is complete. Polls Fireflies API for transcripts created or updated since the last poll time. Handles rate limiting gracefully.
Action
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.
Why this helps

- Reduce deadline mistakes
- Keep exceptions targeted
- Preserve a clear audit trail

Questions about this workflow
What if the target student or group is unclear?
Tell Notis to report the missing target and create nothing until it is explicit.
Can it handle a section-wide exception?
Yes, when the transcript clearly identifies a Canvas course section.
