Notis

Review course progress without manual chasing

See who is moving forward and where a thoughtful nudge may help.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Get user course progress

Retrieves the academic progress of a specific user within a given course.

Why this helps

Progress checks consume time and often happen only after someone falls far behind.

  • Catch stalls earlier
  • Prioritize supportive outreach
  • Reduce spreadsheet upkeep

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Canvas once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation and describe which progress changes to highlight.
  • 3Pick a Notis cron schedule.
  • 4Choose run-report delivery and test with one real learner and course.

Questions about this workflow

Can it summarize only changes since last week?

Ask Notis to compare the returned progress with the prior report if that baseline is available to it.

Does it contact learners automatically?

This workflow reports progress; add a separate action if you want a message sent.
