Notis

Give every Blackboard course review a clear check-in

A recurring prompt can help you review Blackboard course information and keep findings together in Notion.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Create Notion page

Creates a new empty page in a notion workspace.

Why this helps

Without a regular review habit, course questions and observations can stay in your head or get lost across tools.

  • Build a repeatable course review habit
  • Collect questions in a dedicated page
  • Keep review context easy to revisit

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Blackboard and Notion once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to review the available course information and create a Notion page with observations and open questions.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real course example.

Questions about this workflow

Is course health calculated from a standard score?

No. Notis can organize information available from Blackboard, but any custom definition or scoring baseline needs to come from you.

Can I change how often the review runs?

Choose the recurring schedule when setting up the automation in Notis.

Add multiple content blocks (bulk, user-friendly)

Efficiently adds multiple standard content blocks to a notion page in a single api call with automatic markdown parsing. the 'content' field in notionrichtext blocks now automatically detects and parses markdown formatting including headers (# ## ###), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), strikethrough (~~text~~), inline code (`code`), links ([text](url)), and more. ideal for bulk content creation, ai agents, and replacing multiple individual add page content calls. supports automatic text formatting, content splitting, and up to 100 blocks per request.

Webhook trigger

Add content to Notion page

Deprecated: appends a single content block to a notion page or a parent block (must be page, toggle, to-do, bulleted/numbered list, callout, or quote); invoke repeatedly to add multiple blocks.

ActionInstant

Append complex blocks (advanced, full control)

Appends complex blocks with full notion block structure to a parent block or page. use for advanced scenarios requiring precise control: code blocks, tables, embeds, nested children within blocks, or when working with pre-built notion block objects. requires full notion api block schema - use add multiple page content for simpler content creation.
