Create question categories from document topics
When new material introduces a topic, send the topic and its parent category to Notis to create the matching 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
New content can outpace question bank organization, making it harder to find and reuse assessment material later.
- Keep new topics organized as they arrive
- Use explicit parent category context
- Reduce manual question bank maintenance
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda and Classmarker once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Describe how the supplied document topic determines a category name and provide the parent category ID.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real document topic request.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis choose a parent category based on the document?
Only if your instruction includes a reliable rule and the required category information. The action requires a confirmed parent category ID.
Does this create questions too?
No. It creates a question category. Use a separate question creation workflow to add questions.
