Notis

Check Canvas quiz submissions every week

A recurring submission check helps you catch gaps while there is still time to respond.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

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

Action

Get quiz submissions

Retrieves all submissions for a specific quiz within a course; ensure `course id` and `quiz id` are valid and the quiz belongs to the course.

Why this helps

Missing quiz submissions are discovered too late for useful intervention.

  • Find missing submissions sooner
  • Prioritize follow-up
  • Reduce deadline surprises

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Canvas in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation asking Notis to review quiz submissions and list students or patterns needing attention.
  • 3Pick a recurring schedule trigger.
  • 4Choose where reports go and test with one quiz.
