Notis

Create user accounts with a verified address

Send account details to a webhook. Notis checks the email with Abstract and creates the Brightspace user only after validation.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Create User

Creates a new user account.

Why this helps

Account setup can stall when staff have to verify contact details separately before creating each Brightspace user.

  • Checks the submitted email before account creation.
  • Keeps the account setup request and result in one run.
  • Can report invalid addresses without creating a user.

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 provide a name and prompt.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to validate the submitted email with Abstract and create the Brightspace user only when it is valid, using the supplied account details.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real example and the required account details.

Questions about this workflow

What does the webhook need to send?

Include the required user details and the email address to validate. Brightspace requires a unique organization-defined ID when one is supplied.

Will an invalid address still create an account?

The instruction should explicitly tell Notis not to create the account unless Abstract confirms the email is valid.

Does this create a course enrollment too?

No. The listed action creates a user entity; it does not enroll that user in a course.
