Automate quiz creation from documents with Google Gemini and Jotform
AI-Powered Quiz Generator for Instructors 📝🤖
Instantly turn any document into a shareable online quiz! This n8n workflow automates the entire quiz creation process: a new Jotform submission triggers the flow, the Google Gemini AI extracts key concepts and generates multiple-choice questions with correct answers, saves the questions to a Google Sheet for record-keeping, and finally creates a fully built, ready-to-share Jotform quiz using an HTTP request.
How it Works
This powerful workflow acts as a complete "document-to-quiz" automation tool, simplifying the process of creating educational or testing materials:
- Trigger & Input: The process starts when a user fills out the main Jotform submission form, providing a document (PDF/file upload), the desired Quiz Title, and the Number of Questions to generate. Create a jotform like this: https://form.jotform.com/252856893250062 having fields for Quiz Name, File Upload and Number of questions.
- Document Processing: The workflow retrieves the uploaded document via an HTTP request and uses the Extract from File node to parse and extract the raw text content from the file.
- AI Question Generation: The extracted text, quiz title, and desired question count are passed to the Google Gemini AI Agent. Following strict instructions, the AI analyzes the content and generates the specified number of multiple-choice questions (with four options and the correct answer indicated) in a precise JSON format.
- Data Structuring: The generated JSON is validated and formatted using a Structured Output Parser and split into individual items for each question.
- Record Keeping (Google Sheets): Each generated question, along with all its options and the confirmed correct answer, is appended as a new row in a designated Google Sheet for centralized record-keeping and review.
- Jotform Quiz Creation (HTTP Request): The workflow dynamically constructs the required API body, converting the AI-generated questions and options into the necessary fields for a new Jotform. It then uses an HTTP Request node to call the Jotform API, creating a brand-new, ready-to-use quiz form.
- Final Output: The final output provides the link to the newly created quiz, which can be shared immediately for submissions.
Requirements
To deploy this automated quiz generator, ensure you have the following accounts and credentials configured in your n8n instance:
- Jotform Credentials: An API Key is required for both the Jotform Trigger (to start the workflow) and for the final HTTP Request (to create the new quiz form via the API). Sign up for Jotform here: https://www.jotform.com/?partner=zainurrehman
- Google Gemini API Key: An API key for the Google Gemini Chat Model to power the AI Agent for question generation.
- Google Sheets Credentials: An OAuth2 or API Key credential for the Google Sheets node to save the generated questions.
- Initial Jotform: A source Jotform that accepts the user input: a File Upload field, a Text field for the Quiz Title, and a Number field for the Number of Questions.
Pro Tip: After the final HTTP Request, add an additional step (like an Email or Slack node) to automatically send the generated quiz link back to the user who submitted the initial request!
Automate Quiz Creation from Documents with Google Gemini and Jotform
This n8n workflow automates the process of generating quizzes from document content. It listens for new form submissions on Jotform containing a document, extracts the text, uses Google Gemini to create quiz questions and answers, and then stores the generated quiz in a Google Sheet.
What it does
- Triggers on new Jotform submissions: The workflow starts whenever a new submission is received on a configured Jotform form.
- Extracts document content: It takes the submitted document (e.g., PDF, DOCX) and extracts its textual content.
- Splits content for processing: The extracted text is split into smaller chunks to be processed by the AI model.
- Generates quiz with Google Gemini: For each text chunk, it sends the content to Google Gemini via an AI Agent, which then generates multiple-choice quiz questions and their corresponding answers.
- Parses AI output: The AI's response, which is expected to be in a structured format (e.g., JSON), is parsed to extract the quiz questions and answers.
- Stores quiz in Google Sheets: The generated quiz (questions, correct answers, and options) is then appended as new rows to a specified Google Sheet.
Prerequisites/Requirements
To use this workflow, you will need:
- n8n instance: A running n8n instance.
- Jotform Account: A Jotform account with a form configured to accept document uploads.
- Google Gemini API Key: Access to the Google Gemini API.
- Google Sheets Account: A Google account with access to Google Sheets.
- Google Sheets Credential: An n8n credential for Google Sheets (OAuth2 recommended).
- HTTP Request Credential: An n8n credential for making HTTP requests (e.g., for Google Gemini API).
Setup/Usage
- Import the workflow: Download the provided JSON and import it into your n8n instance.
- Configure Jotform Trigger:
- Select your Jotform credential.
- Choose the specific form you want to monitor for new submissions.
- Activate the workflow.
- Configure HTTP Request (Google Gemini):
- Ensure your Google Gemini API key is configured as an HTTP Request credential.
- Review the
HTTP Requestnode (ID: 19) to ensure it's correctly set up to interact with the Google Gemini API endpoint and authentication.
- Configure Google Sheets:
- Select your Google Sheets credential.
- Specify the Spreadsheet ID and Sheet Name where the quiz data should be stored.
- Review and Customize (Optional):
- The
Codenode (ID: 834) andAI Agentnode (ID: 1119) contain the logic for prompt engineering with Google Gemini. You may want to adjust the prompts to fine-tune the quiz generation to your specific needs (e.g., number of questions, difficulty, question types). - The
Structured Output Parsernode (ID: 1179) expects a specific JSON structure from the AI. If you change the AI prompt, you might need to adjust this parser accordingly.
- The
- Activate the workflow: Once all credentials and configurations are set, activate the workflow. It will now automatically process new Jotform submissions.

If AI returns non-JSON, keep “Return only a JSON array” as the last line of the prompt and keep jsonOutput enabled. Consider adding validation on parsing.warnings to gate Salesforce writes. For discounts/taxes in OLI: Standard OLI fields don’t support per-line discount amounts directly; model them in UnitPrice or custom fields.
