Trigger

Why this helps
Small but repeated usage findings can be hard to turn into an organized backlog by hand.
- Collect distinct findings into one batch.
- Reduce repeated manual issue creation.
- Give course usage follow-ups a shared triage point.
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.
- 3Ask Notis to review available course usage data and batch distinct actionable findings into Jira issues, avoiding duplicates when the data supports that check.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real usage review and inspect the batch.
Questions about this workflow

The instruction can ask Notis to check for duplicates when the available Jira data supports that check. Specify what makes findings equivalent.
