Review course enrollment when its Ably room changes
A room update can prompt a quick Brightspace enrollment check, without another manual lookup.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get Enrolled Roles
Retrieves a list of all enrolled user roles the calling user can view in an org unit. returns a json array of role data blocks containing the properties of all user roles that the calling user context has permission to view and that are currently enrolled in the provided org unit. requires oauth2 scope: - role:detail:read available in api versions 1.46+ (lms v20.24.3+)
Why this helps
Course-room activity and enrollment checks live in separate places, making it easy to miss a role change that needs attention.
- Check enrolled roles when a relevant room update arrives.
- Get a concise report with roles visible to the connected Brightspace user.
- Keep the course context attached to the incoming webhook request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and D2lbrightspace once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to use the incoming course-room context to check enrolled roles in the specified Brightspace org unit and summarize anything that needs review.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and the channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real course-room update and a Brightspace org unit you can access.
Questions about this workflow
Does Ably automatically start this workflow?
No. Ably has no listed trigger event here. The workflow starts when a request reaches its Notis webhook; arrange for the relevant room update to be sent there.
Can it check every enrolled user?
The selected Brightspace action retrieves enrolled roles visible to the connected user. The report is limited to the data that action returns.
