HOW IT WORKS

-- ASSIGNMENT PARSING

1. Assignments are fetched from the Canvas API.

2. Relevant information is extracted from each fetched assignment, and the following configurations applied:
2(a). Course Code Overrides, and
2(b). Page Emojis.

3. Fetched assignments are saved by course in browser local storage in a JSON-serialisable format.

-- NOTION IMPORT

4. The OAuth2 token is used to authorise with the Notion API.

5. The saved assignment data is retrieved from local storage.

6. The configured database is queried to avoid import of duplicate assignments (by matching assignment URLs).

7. The configured Database Properties are used to create a new database page for each assignment with the Notion API.

Alex Okoye (ID: 0000006539655f47) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/26/2023 Genuinely a lifesaver if you're trying to get your canvas assignments into your notion workflow. Just spend a minute or two actually reading the instructions (unlike I did) and you'll be set. So thankful for this program and the hassle it alleviates

grizzogor (ID: 0000007f6f2e05f7) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/12/2022 Super useful! This made me switch to Notion from Zenkit Projects with how much time it saves compared to filling it in manually!

icon

Carlile (ID: 0000006a428f27ce) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/19/2022 The authorization bugged out when I tried to connect it to my google account and I had to manually login. After resolving that, it works great.
