Move assignment requests from Slack into Google Classroom
Capture assignment ideas while they are fresh and turn them into coursework without retyping the request later.
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
Create CourseWork
Tool to create a coursework item in a course. use when you need to assign an assignment or question to students immediately or on a schedule.
Why this helps
Assignment plans get buried in busy Slack channels, leaving someone to recreate them in Classroom from memory.
- Keep assignment requests attached to the conversation where they started.
- Reduce duplicate typing between Slack and Classroom.
- Make follow-through more reliable when switching tasks.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Google Classroom to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or tell Notis in plain language to turn clear assignment requests in Slack into Classroom coursework.
- 3Select the Slack channel-message trigger, choose a channel for run reports, then test with one real assignment request.
Questions about this workflow
Does every Slack message become an assignment?
No. Tell Notis in the automation prompt to act only on messages that clearly request a new assignment, and test that instruction with a real example.
Can Notis create coursework in a specific class?
Include the intended class in the plain-language instruction. Notis can use the connected Google Classroom account and available course context.
