Notis

Turn quiz change requests into Brightspace updates

Submit a request in plain language. Notis can use Abstract to process the text and update the identified quiz using the details provided.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Update Quiz

Updates selected properties of an existing quiz.

Why this helps

Quiz changes buried in messages are easy to miss, and re-entering settings by hand creates avoidable context switching.

  • Converts a submitted text request into a focused update.
  • Keeps the quiz identifier and requested change together.
  • Provides a run report after the update attempt.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Abstract and D2L Brightspace once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to process the request text with Abstract and update only the identified Brightspace quiz using the supplied settings.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real quiz and a clear settings change.

Questions about this workflow

Does Abstract supply the quiz settings?

Abstract processes text. The request must include the quiz identifier and the intended settings; Notis should not infer missing values.

Can it set any quiz property?

It can only attempt properties supported by the listed Brightspace quiz update action and the connected account's permissions.

Can this run on a schedule instead?

The workflow uses a webhook because it is designed to process a specific submitted change request.
