Why this helps
New training resources often arrive faster than someone can review them and create matching exam questions.
- Review new training resources as they arrive.
- Create questions from material with clear learning value.
- Keep question drafting attached to the content workflow.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Classmarker once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis which new items count as training material and to create a question only from content that supports one.
- 4Pick Box's New Item Added to Folder trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real folder item and review the question.
Questions about this workflow
Does this trigger include folders and web links as well as files?
Yes. The listed Box trigger can detect a new file, folder, or web link in the selected folder. Tell Notis which types to process.
Can a new folder itself become a question?
Usually the folder alone has no learning content. Instruct Notis to report or skip items that do not provide source material.
Will Notis invent answers or facts?
Tell Notis to use only information supported by the source material and flag anything it cannot establish.
