Catch stalled Blackboard follow-ups
See which course follow-ups have gone quiet before they slip further.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get multiple tasks
Retrieves a list of tasks, allowing filtering by assignee (requires `workspace`), project, section, `completed since`, and `modified since`; `workspace` also requires `assignee`.
Why this helps
Course follow-up tasks can stay open long after their next step has stalled.
- Surface stale work in a regular review
- Focus attention on tasks that need an update
- Reduce manual status scanning
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.

- 3Choose the recurring schedule trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a project or section containing known follow-up tasks.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow mark tasks overdue without due dates?
No. It should only assess due dates or modified times that are available in the retrieved task data.
Does this update the tasks?
This version retrieves tasks for review and reports findings. Choose a separate supported action if you need to update or comment on a task.
