Questions about this workflow
Can it identify a trend across multiple submissions?
It can only compare against history available in the event context or Cody knowledge. Provide prior feedback or a baseline when needed.
Does this store student information?
The document can only contain details available to the automation. Tell Notis what to include and avoid storing unnecessary personal details.
