Why this helps
Important course context often sits apart from the work item that needs attention.
- Keep decision context beside the task
- Make handoffs easier to understand
- Avoid searching separate tools for the source note

- 1Connect Blackboard and Asana once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation and tell Notis to add supplied Blackboard engagement context as a comment on the relevant task.
- 3Choose the webhook trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real task and engagement note.

Does Blackboard send the webhook itself?
