Notis

Keep quizzes aligned with evolving pull requests

As implementation changes, the quiz can stay current without a separate maintenance pass.

Trigger

New Commit Added to Pull Request

Action

Update Quiz

Updates selected properties of an existing quiz.

Why this helps

Training content becomes stale when a pull request changes several times before merge.

  • Reduces stale assessment content.
  • Ties content maintenance to actual implementation changes.
  • Prevents another recurring task from entering the founder's backlog.

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 commit is added to the selected GitHub pull request, update its related Brightspace quiz so questions and guidance reflect the latest change.
  • 3Select New Commit Added to Pull Request as the trigger.
  • 4Choose a channel for run reports and test with one additional PR commit.

Questions about this workflow

Will every commit trigger an update?

Yes, unless your prompt tells Notis to act only on selected branches, labels, or change types.

Can updates wait until review?

Ask Notis to prepare or apply updates only after a qualifying review event.
