Connect pull request reviews to learning feedback
A submitted review becomes useful learning context without asking you to copy it over.
Trigger
Pull Request Review Submitted
Action
Update Grade Object
Updates a grade item, replacing its existing data.
Why this helps
Review insights often stay trapped in GitHub and never reach the people learning from the work.
- Carries review outcomes into a learner-facing process.
- Reduces copying between technical and educational systems.
- Creates a repeatable feedback loop around code quality.
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 review is submitted on the selected GitHub pull request, update the related Brightspace grade object with a concise, learner-safe summary and the review outcome.
- 3Select Pull Request Review Submitted as the trigger.
- 4Choose a run-report channel and test with one submitted review.
Questions about this workflow
Are review comments copied verbatim?
Not unless you request that. Ask Notis for a concise learner-safe summary instead.
Can dismissed reviews be handled differently?
Yes. Include separate handling instructions for approved, changes requested, commented, or dismissed reviews.
