Check available exams when a Slack deadline approaches
When a deadline is mentioned in Slack, Notis can fetch the current ClassMarker tests and help you spot what still needs attention.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action
List Tests
Tool to list all available tests. Use when you need an overview of every test before assignment or reporting.
Why this helps
Deadlines create avoidable stress when nobody has a quick picture of which exams are already available.
- Adds a current exam inventory to deadline preparation.
- Makes it easier to identify missing assessment setup early.
- Reduces last-minute tool switching and uncertainty.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and ClassMarker to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Tell Notis to list ClassMarker tests when a Slack message identifies an upcoming training or assessment deadline and summarize the inventory.
- 4Select the Slack channel message trigger and select a run-report channel.
- 5Test with one real deadline message and review the test list returned.
Questions about this workflow
Does it know whether an exam is complete?
The action lists available tests. The prompt can summarize that information but should not assume details the result does not provide.
Can this create a missing exam?
No. This workflow checks the test inventory; exam creation is outside the available actions.
