Turn new Box training files into Classmarker questions
Add a training document to Box and let Notis draft a question from its key ideas for your Classmarker question bank.
Trigger
New File Added to Folder
Triggers when a new file is added to a folder in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box folder and fires when new files are detected. Only files (not folders or web links) are monitored.
Action
Create Question
Tool to create a new question with specified text, type, and category. Use after finalizing details. Set verify_only=True to validate without creating.
Why this helps
Writing questions from every new training document takes time and makes it easy to leave useful material out of your question bank.
- Convert new learning material into a question while it is fresh.
- Reduce repetitive question drafting.
- Keep new training content moving into your question bank.
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 to review each new training file in the chosen Box folder and create one suitable Classmarker question from its content.
- 4Pick Box's New File Added to Folder trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real training file and review the created question.
Questions about this workflow
Does this run for every item added to the Box folder?
The trigger watches for new files in the specific Box folder you select. Tell Notis which files count as training material in your instruction.
Will Notis copy the whole document into Classmarker?
No. Instruct Notis to use the document as source material for a question. Review the generated question before using it in an exam.
What if the file does not contain enough information for a question?
Tell Notis to report that it could not make a grounded question instead of guessing.
