Make a Classmarker question from a README update
Turn changes to setup instructions or product guidance into a question your team can use to check understanding.
Trigger
GitHub Repository README Changed
Triggers when the README file in a specific repository directory changes. Monitors the README in a configurable directory and branch/tag/commit. The payload includes the current README metadata (filename, path, SHA, size, URLs), the previous and current git blob SHAs, and a list of which tracked fields changed.
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
Important documentation changes can go unnoticed, especially when people rely on older setup steps or guidance.
- Highlight key information added or changed in the README.
- Make documentation updates easier to review with a question.
- Keep a lightweight record of product and setup knowledge.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Classmarker once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to draft a question from the changed README content and use a specified question category.
- 4Pick GitHub Repository README Changed as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test it with one real README change and review the question before relying on it.
Questions about this workflow
Can this create a whole exam from the README?
No. The available action creates an individual Classmarker question. Creating an exam is not available here.
Can I control what kind of README changes matter?
Explain in your prompt which documentation topics should lead to a question. The GitHub trigger monitors the configured README location.
