Questions about this workflow
Will it decide which skills to award?
No. It retrieves categories. Your instruction may ask Notis to compare them with supplied course outcomes, but a person should confirm the credential design.
Can it detect relevant discussion messages?
Describe the criteria in your instruction. Notis can use message details returned by the trigger, but missing context must be supplied.
