Keep course engagement trends in view
Turn Blackboard activity into a simple weekly record you can scan when planning student support.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create multiple records
Creates multiple new records in a specified airtable table.
Why this helps
Course activity is scattered across Blackboard, making it hard to spot changes from week to week.
- Keep a dated record of course activity
- Review multiple courses in one place
- Notice engagement changes without repeated manual exports
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 summarize the past week's course engagement and add one dated record per course to Airtable.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real course and confirm the Airtable snapshot is useful.
Questions about this workflow
What goes into the snapshot?
Tell Notis which activity measures or course details to include. The automation can only report data available from Blackboard.
Will it overwrite last week's entry?
Ask Notis to create a dated snapshot each run so prior weeks remain available for comparison.
