Route Blackboard walkthrough blockers to GitHub owners
A blocked walkthrough should create momentum, not another tab to remember.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add assignees to an issue
Why this helps
Technical blockers discovered during Blackboard walkthroughs often remain in messages instead of entering the development queue.
- Turns blockers into actionable engineering work
- Preserves context from the original report
- Shortens the path from discovery to ownership
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 to create and assign a GitHub issue for each Blackboard walkthrough blocker, preserving the relevant context.
- 3Pick an incoming webhook trigger and choose the run-report channel.
- 4Test with one real blocker report.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis distinguish blockers from general comments?
Yes. Define the words, severity, or conditions that should qualify as a blocker in the instruction.
Will the original context be retained?
