Bring course details into a Box agreement status review

A changed agreement status can prompt a current course details lookup in the same follow-up.

Trigger

Box Sign Request Status Changed

Triggers when a Box Sign request's status or meaningful fields change. This trigger monitors a specific Box Sign request and fires when changes are detected in key fields like status, signer decisions, document readiness, or completion state.

Action

Get Course Offering

Retrieves a specific course offering from d2l brightspace. returns a courseoffering json block with the course's information. requires oauth2 scope: - orgunits:course:read available in api versions 1.46+ (lms v20.24.3+)

Why this helps

Administrative follow-up after agreement changes can be delayed when course context lives elsewhere.

  • Start related course follow-up from a Box Sign status change.
  • Include current course offering details in a single report.
  • Reduce time spent reopening the LMS for context.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Box and D2lbrightspace once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve the specified Brightspace course offering and summarize its current details alongside the Box Sign status for review.
  • 4Pick Box Sign Request Status Changed as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real status change and verify the course details in the report.

Questions about this workflow

Can the Box Sign event identify the course?

Not necessarily. Provide the Brightspace org unit identifier or a reliable lookup reference in your instruction.

Does this workflow change the course?

No. Get Course Offering retrieves course information for the report.
