Keep address cleanup moving without carrying the results into another app by hand.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action

Why this helps
Email lists go stale, and important validation results are easy to lose between tools.
- Summarizes invalid addresses in one course update
- Reduces manual copying between Abstract and Blackboard
- Keeps recurring list maintenance visible
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Abstract and Blackboard once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3Ask Notis to validate the email addresses you provide with Abstract and announce a concise count and follow-up guidance in the specified Blackboard course.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real email list and review the announcement.
Questions about this workflow
Where do the email addresses come from?
Supply the list or its location in your instruction. Abstract has no listed trigger event that provides a list automatically.
Does the announcement include every address?
Ask Notis to include only the level of detail appropriate for the course. A summary avoids exposing personal data unnecessarily.
