Notis

Make course review records reflect the latest check

Update the review date and concise findings so your tracker reflects what was checked most recently.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Update multiple records

Updates multiple existing records in a specified airtable table; these updates are not performed atomically.

Why this helps

Course review trackers lose value when they do not show when a course was last checked or what changed.

  • Keep review dates current
  • Add concise findings to existing records
  • Make the review history easier to scan

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Blackboard and Airtable once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what you want from any channel.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to review available Blackboard course information and update matching Airtable records with the review date and concise findings.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test on one real course and verify the update reflects the review.

Questions about this workflow

Does this create missing course records?

No. This workflow updates existing records. Create missing records separately or adjust the instruction to handle them if the action supports your setup.

What counts as a finding?

Specify the course information you want checked. Notis should report only what is available from Blackboard.
