Start an exam review sheet from a request
When a review needs its own tracker, send a request to Notis and have it create a spreadsheet with a clear set of headers and available exam details.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create sheet from JSON
Creates a new google spreadsheet and populates its first worksheet from `sheet json`, which must be non-empty as its first item's keys establish the headers.
Why this helps
Starting a new tracker from scratch means deciding the columns, creating the file, and copying in relevant information before review can begin.
- Create a new spreadsheet when a review needs a dedicated tracker.
- Start with headers and initial rows based on available data.
- Reduce setup work before a review begins.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Classmarker and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation with a name and a prompt describing the new review sheet.
- 3Tell Notis which available exam details to include and what headers and rows the sheet JSON should contain.
- 4Choose a webhook as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and confirm the spreadsheet has useful headers and initial data.
Questions about this workflow
Can the spreadsheet be created with only headers?
The action requires non-empty sheet JSON, and the first item's keys establish the headers. Include at least one data object.
What if some exam information is missing?
Only available details can be populated. Supply any additional values in the request or prompt.
