Assign Jira owners for Blackboard course follow-ups
Give each follow-up a clear owner when the course review already identifies one.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Assign Issue
Assigns a jira issue to a user, default assignee, or unassigns; supports email/name lookup.
Why this helps
Review findings can remain unowned even when the person responsible is clear in the course context.
- Turn a stated responsibility into Jira ownership.
- Reduce unassigned follow-up work.
- Keep the person and course context connected.
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 assign each identified Jira follow-up to the responsible person named in the Blackboard review, and skip items without an owner.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real review containing an issue and a named owner.
