Introduction

Automate peer review assignment and grading with AI-powered evaluation. Designed for educators managing collaborative assessments efficiently.

How It Works

Webhook receives assignments, distributes them, AI generates review rubrics, emails reviewers, collects responses, calculates scores, stores results, emails reports, updates dashboards, and posts analytics to Slack.

Workflow Template

Webhook → Store Assignment → Distribute → Generate Review Rubric → Notify Slack → Email Reviewers → Prepare Response → Calculate Score → Store Results → Check Status → Generate Report → Email Report → Update Dashboard → Analytics → Post to Slack → Respond to Webhook

Workflow Steps

  1. Receive & Store: Webhook captures assignments, stores data.
  2. Distribute & Generate: Assigns peer reviewers, AI creates rubrics.
  3. Notify & Email: Alerts via Slack, sends review requests.
  4. Collect & Score: Gathers responses, calculates peer scores.
  5. Report & Update: Generates reports, emails results, updates dashboard.
  6. Analyze & Alert: Posts analytics to Slack, confirms completion.

Setup Instructions

  1. Webhook & Storage: Configure endpoint, set up database.
  2. AI Configuration: Add OpenAI key, customize rubric prompts.
  3. Communication: Connect Gmail, Slack credentials.
  4. Dashboard: Link analytics platform, configure metrics.

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/10312/10312.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
