Why this helps
Walkthrough outcomes can be separated from the resource they refer to, making follow-up harder to track.
- Keep a follow-up note beside the related Drive resource.
- Reduce context switching when reviewing walkthrough outcomes.
- Make the event's next step visible to people who can access the file.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Blackboard and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or describe it to Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to summarize the walkthrough result and comment on the related file identified in the request.
- 4Choose the notis_webhook trigger and select where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real walkthrough event and verify the comment is on the intended file.
