    Add a Gmail node telling the parent the assignment, due date and how to submit late.

  4. 4

    Confirm Resolution

    Add a step marking the row resolved when the work comes in, closing the loop.

    Activate the workflow with a test entry. Confirm the parent notice sends.

Frequently asked questions

Isn't this harsh on kids?

It's the opposite — early, low-stakes course-correction prevents the grade damage that actually hurts.

Does it burden teachers?

One row in a sheet per missing assignment — less work than the parent phone calls it prevents.
