Useful feedback can reach learners while the reasoning is still fresh.
Trigger
New Pull Request Review Comment
Action
Update Grade Object
Updates a grade item, replacing its existing data.
Why this helps
Good teaching points disappear in long review threads and are hard to extract later.
- Preserves valuable reasoning from the place it was written.
- Reduces the effort required to curate examples.
- Supports learning without another documentation task.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and D2lbrightspace to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation with a prompt: When a new inline GitHub pull request review comment contains a useful teaching point, update the related Brightspace grade object with a concise explanation and source link.
- 3Select New Pull Request Review Comment as the trigger.
- 4Choose a report channel and test with one suitable comment.
Questions about this workflow
Can routine comments be ignored?
Yes. Tell Notis to act only on comments matching your teaching or feedback criteria.
What if no related grade object exists?
Write the prompt to skip the update and report the missing checkpoint for review.
