Keep Canvas assignments aligned with Telegram edits
When a task detail changes in Telegram, Notis can update its Canvas assignment so learners work from the latest information.
Trigger
Message Edited
Triggered when a message in a chat your bot can see is edited by its sender.
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
A corrected instruction in chat may leave an outdated assignment in Canvas, creating uncertainty about what to do.
- Carry important corrections into the course assignment.
- Reduce confusion caused by conflicting instructions.
- Avoid manually searching for and editing the Canvas record.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Canvas to Notis through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations or ask Notis conversationally for the update.
- 3Describe in one instruction how to identify the related assignment and which edited details should be reflected.
- 4Choose Message Edited, select a report channel, and test by editing one real task message.
Questions about this workflow
Does an edit change every assignment?
Describe how the relevant course and assignment should be identified so unrelated edits are not applied.
Can the automation change only specific details?
Yes. State which changed details should update the assignment in the plain-language instruction.
