Questions about this workflow
Can Notis find the parent category automatically?
The action requires a confirmed parent category ID. Provide it in the instruction or have the run report that it is missing.
Can I use this to create an entire question bank?
This action creates a category only. Add question creation as a separate step or workflow if needed.
