Confirm a course worksheet is ready
Check for an expected course tab as soon as a request arrives, then report the result where your team can see it.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Find worksheet by title
Finds a worksheet by its exact, case-sensitive title within a google spreadsheet; returns a boolean indicating if found and the complete metadata of the entire spreadsheet, regardless of whether the target worksheet is found.
Why this helps
A missing or misnamed course tab can interrupt spreadsheet based course routines.
- Confirm a worksheet exists before a process continues
- Catch missing tabs sooner
- Avoid opening spreadsheets for a manual check

Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Blackboard and Google Sheets once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis to create one in plain language.
- 3Ask Notis to check whether the specified course worksheet title exists and report the result.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real spreadsheet and course tab title.
