- Include the repository, title, author, and direct link.
- Make review follow-up visible without another project board.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Google Classroom to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in Automations -> New Automation, or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3Use one instruction: For every new GitHub pull request, create Google Classroom coursework with a concise review brief and the pull request link.
- 4Pick the new pull request trigger and select a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one non-urgent pull request.
Questions about this workflow
Can the coursework be assigned to a specific audience?
Ask Notis to use the selected course and describe the intended reviewers in the instruction.
Will duplicate coursework be created if the pull request changes?
This workflow responds to newly created pull requests. Use a separate update workflow for later changes.
