Questions about this workflow

Supported Triggers and Actions

Typeform triggers
Canvas actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create account notification

Create an assignment
Creates a new assignment within a specified course in canvas lms.
Create assignment override

Create Calendar Event
