Turn Blackboard feedback into owned GitHub issues
Capture the signal once and give every worthwhile improvement a next step.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add assignees to an issue
Adds or removes assignees for a github issue; changes are silently ignored if the authenticated user lacks push access to the repository.
Why this helps
Useful feedback arrives in Blackboard, but it gets buried before anyone turns it into owned work.
- Keeps learner insight connected to execution
- Creates visible ownership for follow-up
- Reduces manual copying between tools
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Blackboard and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language to turn qualifying Blackboard feedback into a GitHub issue and assign it to the right person.
- 3Pick an incoming webhook trigger and choose where Notis should report runs.
- 4Send one real feedback example to test the workflow.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis decide which feedback deserves an issue?
Yes. State your criteria in the plain-language instruction, such as recurring requests or blockers affecting multiple learners.
Will the issue have an owner?
Notis can assign the issue when the incoming Blackboard payload or your instruction identifies a suitable GitHub user.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Blackboard to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Blackboard triggers
GitHub actions
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
List repositories starred by the authenticated user
Deprecated: lists repositories starred by the authenticated user, including star creation timestamps; use 'list repositories starred by the authenticated user' instead.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
Add email for auth user
Adds one or more email addresses (which will be initially unverified) to the authenticated user's github account; use this to associate new emails, noting an email verified for another account will error, while an existing email for the current user is accepted.
Add app access restrictions
Replaces github app access restrictions for an existing protected branch; requires a json array of app slugs in the request body, where apps must be installed and have 'contents' write permissions.
Add a repository collaborator
Adds a github user as a repository collaborator, or updates their permission if already a collaborator; `permission` applies to organization-owned repositories (personal ones default to 'push' and ignore this field), and an invitation may be created or permissions updated directly.
Add a repository to an app installation
Adds a repository to a github app installation, granting the app access; requires authenticated user to have admin rights for the repository and access to the installation.
