Keep Student Engagement Context With the Right Record
Bring a Blackboard engagement observation into Salesforce as a note you can find later.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create note

Why this helps
Engagement observations can lose their context when they stay in a separate course tool.
- Preserve a useful engagement observation in Salesforce.
- Keep context attached to the record you specify.
- Make later conversations easier to prepare for.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Blackboard and Salesforce once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to summarize the Blackboard engagement information you submit and create a Salesforce note on the specified record.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real engagement example and a valid Salesforce record.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis choose the Salesforce record automatically?
The workflow can use record information included in your submitted request. If you do not provide an identifier or clear match criteria, Notis cannot know which record to attach the note to.
What does the note contain?
Notis can summarize the Blackboard details submitted to the webhook. Avoid assuming Blackboard supplies history or baselines that are not included.
