Label GitHub work from weekly Blackboard insights
Start the week with issues organized around what learners are actually experiencing.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Add labels to an issue
Adds labels (provided in the request body) to a repository issue; labels that do not already exist are created.
Why this helps
A founder sees course patterns during the week but lacks time to keep GitHub triage aligned with them.
- Makes recurring themes visible in GitHub
- Creates a repeatable weekly review rhythm
- Cuts down on ad hoc issue grooming
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 review the weekly Blackboard engagement summary and add relevant labels to matching GitHub issues.
- 3Pick a weekly Notis cron trigger and choose the channel for run reports.
- 4Test it with the latest real course summary.
Questions about this workflow
Can labels reflect custom course themes?
Yes. Include the themes and label conventions in the instruction you give Notis.
Does this require a manual weekly export?
No. Notis runs on the schedule and uses the Blackboard data available through the connected workflow.

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.
