Why this helps
Course errors can disappear into chat or support notes before anyone creates a trackable issue.
- Create a trackable issue from an error report.
- Keep the original course context available in the issue.
- Reduce manual copying between Blackboard and Jira.

- 1Connect Blackboard and Jira 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 create a Jira issue from each Blackboard course or walkthrough error, retaining the supplied context.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real error report and check the Jira issue.
