Assign Jira follow-up from Blackboard reports
Move a course follow-up to its owner without manually reopening Jira to assign it.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Assign Issue
Assigns a jira issue to a user, default assignee, or unassigns; supports email/name lookup.
Why this helps
Follow-ups can sit unassigned when the person responsible is already clear in the course report.
- Assign follow-up work when an owner is stated.
- Reduce unassigned course issues.
- Keep ownership connected to the report context.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 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 assign the identified Jira issue to the responsible person named in the Blackboard report.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real report that includes an issue key and a Jira-recognizable user.
Questions about this workflow
What if the report does not name an owner?
The automation needs an owner in the report or explicit fallback guidance from you. It should not guess who is responsible.
Can Jira resolve a person's name?
The Assign Issue action supports email or name lookup. Use a clear name or email when possible.
