Link recurring Blackboard course issues in Jira
Make recurring course problems visible across the Jira issues tracking them.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Link Issues
Links two jira issues using a specified link type with optional comment.
Why this helps
Recurring problems can be investigated repeatedly when their Jira history is spread across unlinked issues.
- Connect issues that track a recurring problem.
- Make related investigation easier to navigate.
- Keep the relationship visible for future reviews.
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.
- 3Tell Notis to link Jira issues only when the Blackboard review identifies the same recurring course problem, including a short explanation.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one review that identifies two related Jira issue keys.
Questions about this workflow
Can the automation determine that issues are duplicates?
It can act on a repeated problem when the available Blackboard and Jira information supports that conclusion. Specify the matching criteria you want.
Which issues will be linked?
The run needs the relevant Jira issue keys or enough available context to identify them reliably.
