Give course review work a consistent label
Create a reusable tag when a new course review category needs to be tracked.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create a tag in a workspace
Creates a new tag, with properties like name and color defined in the request body, within a specific asana workspace (using `workspace gid`); this tag helps categorize tasks, is confined to the workspace, and is not automatically applied to tasks.
Why this helps
Inconsistent labels make related course review work harder to find and group.
- Create a reusable category for related work
- Make review tasks easier to group
- Reduce inconsistent naming
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Blackboard and Asana once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation and describe when a new course review category should receive a workspace tag.
- 3Choose the webhook trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one new category and confirm the workspace.
Questions about this workflow
Does creating the tag apply it to tasks?
No. The action creates a tag in a workspace; it does not apply the tag to tasks.
Should this run for every course review?
Use it when a genuinely new category needs a reusable tag, and check whether an equivalent tag already exists.
