Create a question category for each new assessment topic
Send the finalized assessment brief and confirmed parent category details to Notis to add a relevant question category.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create a new question category
Creates a new question category.
Why this helps
A growing question bank becomes harder to navigate when new assessment topics have no consistent home.
- Organize questions around a clearly named topic.
- Use a parent category only after its ID is confirmed.
- Tie category creation to a finalized assessment brief.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveMerge and Classmarker once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to create a category from the brief only after checking for an existing match and confirming the parent category ID.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Send one real brief and review the category details.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis choose the parent category automatically?
The action requires a confirmed parent category ID. Include that ID in the request or confirm it before creation.
Does the action create a question too?
No. It creates a question category. Creating questions requires a separate action.
