Give every support referral a clear next step
Send a referral into Notis and keep the follow-up context together in Airtable.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create a record
Creates a new record in a specified airtable table; field values must conform to the table's column types.
Why this helps
A concern raised during course work can get lost between Blackboard and a separate follow-up list.
- Capture referrals while the context is fresh
- Keep follow-up details in a shared record
- Reduce the chance that a student concern gets missed
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 use the incoming referral details and relevant available Blackboard context to create an Airtable record.
- 4Pick a webhook as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test by sending one real referral request and checking the resulting record.
Questions about this workflow
What starts this automation?
An HTTP request to its Notis webhook starts it. Blackboard does not provide a listed trigger event here.
Does it decide whether a student needs support?
The request should indicate a referral or the instruction should define the criteria using available information. Notis cannot infer missing context.
