Why this helps

- 5Test with one real announcement sent to the webhook.
Questions about this workflow
Does Blackboard start this workflow automatically?
Blackboard has no listed trigger event here. This workflow starts when an HTTP request reaches its Notis webhook, such as a request carrying announcement content.
Will Notis post the whole announcement?
Describe the level of detail you want in the instruction. Notis can condense the content supplied in the webhook request.
