Why this helps
Review notes can get separated from the ongoing work and decisions they are meant to inform.
- Keep recurring review context in an existing issue.
- Make findings easier to revisit alongside decisions.
- Reduce manual summary writing after a review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Blackboard and Linear once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it from any channel.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: summarize the available engagement information and comment on the specified existing Linear review issue, noting missing data where relevant.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real course review and a valid Linear issue reference.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a review issue?
No. This workflow comments on an existing issue, so identify the issue in the instruction or provide its reference.
Can it compare engagement with an earlier period?
Only when the earlier-period data is available to Notis or supplied in the instruction. It should report when that comparison data is missing.
