Keep Classmarker subcategories current from email decisions
When an email confirms a subcategory change, let Notis carry the approved update into Classmarker and report anything that needs clarification.
Trigger
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
Action
Update Sub-Category
Tool to update an existing sub-category. Use when you need to rename or move a sub-category after confirming its IDs.
Why this helps
Category changes can be agreed in email but remain unfinished because updating the question bank is easy to overlook.
- Apply confirmed taxonomy decisions promptly.
- Avoid acting on vague or unapproved requests.
- Call out missing category IDs or update details.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Classmarker once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to apply only explicitly approved subcategory changes when the affected IDs and requested values are clear.
- 4Pick New Gmail Message Received as the trigger.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real approved change request and verify the update.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis infer the subcategory ID from its name?
Do not rely on an inferred ID. The action requires confirmed IDs; instruct Notis to report missing identifiers rather than guess.
Can this change a parent category?
This action updates a subcategory. A separate Classmarker action exists for updating an existing parent category.
