Add quiz questions from Typeform drafts

Reuse carefully written question drafts without retyping them.

Trigger

New Form Response

Triggers when a respondent completes and submits the form.

Action

Create a quiz question

Creates a new question for an existing quiz within a course; if `answers` are provided, their structure must align with `question type`, and any `quiz group id` must be valid for an existing group in the quiz.

Why this helps

Question drafts are copied between tools and often lose formatting or intent.

  • Reduces retyping
  • Preserves question intent
  • Speeds assessment authoring

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Typeform and Canvas once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation for approved question drafts.
  • 3Describe how to validate the response and create the matching question type.
  • 4Pick the Typeform New Form Response trigger.
  • 5Choose a report channel and test with one approved draft.
