Add Grading Notes to Linear Issues Automatically
When a Canvas assignment is graded, Notis adds a comment to the related Linear issue with the grade and any rubric feedback.
Trigger
Canvas Assignment Graded
Polls Canvas for newly graded submissions for a specific assignment.
Action
Create a comment
Creates a new comment on a specified linear issue.
Why this helps
Grades are posted in Canvas, but grade comments and feedback notes need to be duplicated in Linear for team visibility. Manual copy-paste wastes time.
- Automatic documentation of all grading feedback
- No duplicate note-taking between Canvas and Linear
- Full feedback audit trail in one place
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Linear integrations to Notis in your portal settings.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a Canvas assignment is graded, add a comment to the matching Linear issue with the grade, score, and feedback text.' (Or create in portal Automations.)
- 3Choose Canvas Assignment Graded as the trigger and your notification channel.
- 4Test by grading a Canvas assignment and checking that the Linear comment appears with the feedback.
- 5Adjust your prompt if you want to include rubric details, late submission marks, or extra credit notes.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which Linear issue to comment on?
Notis matches the Canvas assignment to a corresponding Linear issue (typically created by a previous automation or manually). Your prompt can specify the matching rule, like 'find the issue with the student name and course code.'
Can I include the full rubric breakdown in the comment?
Yes. Tell Notis 'include all rubric scores and comments,' and it will pull the full rubric details from Canvas and format them in the Linear comment.
What if the assignment feedback is very long?
Linear comments support long text, so detailed rubric feedback will post fully. Notis handles formatting automatically to keep it readable.
