Review Blackboard courses before Eventbrite campaigns

A scheduled catalog view helps you choose the right learning destination before promoting the next event.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

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

Action

Retrieve course list

Retrieves a list of courses from the blackboard learn platform. this endpoint allows developers to fetch information about courses available in the learning management system. it can be used to integrate course data into external applications, create custom dashboards, or sync course information with other systems. the endpoint returns read-only data and does not modify any course information. while it provides a comprehensive list of courses, it may not include detailed information about course content, assignments, or student data, which might require additional api calls. use this endpoint when you need to obtain an overview of courses in the blackboard learn environment, such as for course catalogs or administrative purposes.

Why this helps

Campaign planning slows down when the course catalog is spread across stale notes and tabs.

  • Starts planning from current course data
  • Reduces tab-hunting
  • Makes destination decisions faster

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Eventbrite and Blackboard to Notis once.
  • 2Create the recurring automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it.
  • 3Tell Notis to retrieve the Blackboard course list for the supplied Eventbrite campaign review and return a concise planning summary.
  • 4Choose a cron schedule and run-report channel, then test with one review run.

Questions about this workflow

Does it change the course catalog?

No. It retrieves the read-only course list.

Can it run before every campaign meeting?

Yes, use a recurring schedule that matches the meeting cadence.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Eventbrite to Blackboard. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Course Announcements Access

Retrieves a list of announcements for a specific course in the blackboard learning management system. this endpoint allows users to access important messages, updates, or notifications related to a particular course. it should be used when there's a need to fetch all announcements or check for recent updates in a course. the tool returns announcement data but does not provide functionality for creating, updating, or deleting announcements. keep in mind that the returned list may be paginated if there are many announcements, and additional calls might be necessary to retrieve all data.

Webhook trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Get course announcement by id

Retrieves a specific announcement from a particular course in the blackboard learn system. this endpoint allows users to fetch detailed information about a single announcement, including its content, creation date, and any attachments. it is particularly useful for displaying announcement details in external applications or for retrieving updated information about a previously known announcement. the endpoint requires both the course id and the announcement id to ensure precise retrieval of the intended announcement. it should be used when specific announcement details are needed, rather than for listing all announcements in a course.

ActionInstant

Update child course in parent

This endpoint updates the relationship between a parent course and its child course in the blackboard learning management system. it is used to modify existing course hierarchies, allowing administrators to restructure course organizations or adjust course relationships. the endpoint should be used when there's a need to change the parent-child association between two courses, such as moving a sub-course to a different parent course or updating the hierarchical structure of courses. it's important to note that this endpoint only modifies existing relationships and does not create new courses or new child-parent associations if they don't already exist in some form.

ActionInstant

Upload file to attempt in gradebook

This endpoint allows for the upload and attachment of files to a specific attempt within a course's gradebook in the blackboard learning management system. it is used to associate submitted work, supporting documents, or any relevant files with a student's attempt on an assignment, quiz, or other assessable items. the endpoint should be called after the initial file upload process, using the generated uploadid to link the file to the specific attempt. it's particularly useful for instructors or system integrators who need to programmatically attach files to student submissions, or for building custom submission interfaces that interact with blackboard's backend. this endpoint does not handle the actual file transfer; it assumes the file has already been uploaded to blackboard's system and is now being associated with a specific attempt.

ActionInstant

Get oauth2 authorization code

Initiates the oauth 2.0 authorization code flow for the blackboard api. this endpoint is used to obtain an authorization code, which is a crucial step in the oauth 2.0 authentication process. the authorization code can later be exchanged for an access token, granting limited access to user resources on the blackboard platform. this endpoint should be called when an application needs to request permission from a user to access their blackboard data. it's important to note that this endpoint does not directly provide access to user data; it only initiates the authorization process. the response will typically include a redirect url containing the authorization code, which the client application must handle appropriately.

ActionInstant

Get user gradebook for course

Retrieves the gradebook information for a specific user within a particular course in blackboard. this endpoint allows instructors or authorized personnel to access individual student grade data, including assignment scores, overall course grade, and any custom gradebook columns. it should be used when detailed grade information for a single student in a specific course is needed, such as for progress monitoring or grade reviews. the endpoint does not modify any data and is read-only. note that this tool only provides grade data and does not include other course or user information beyond what's directly related to the gradebook.

ActionInstant

Copy course with specific options

The coursecopytool allows you to create a copy of a blackboard course with fine-grained control over which elements are included in the copy. this endpoint is used when you need to duplicate a course, either creating a new course or overwriting an existing one, while selectively choosing which components to transfer. it's particularly useful for course administrators or instructors preparing for a new semester or creating variations of an existing course. the tool provides extensive customization options, allowing you to include or exclude specific course elements such as content areas, assessments, gradebook settings, and more. however, it does not handle enrollment of students or instructors in the new course - this must be done separately after the copy is complete.

ActionInstant

Copy course by courseid

This endpoint creates a copy of an existing course in the blackboard learning management system. it allows instructors or administrators to duplicate course content, settings, and structure into a new or existing course. use this endpoint when you need to replicate a course for a new semester, create a template from an existing course, or backup course content. the operation copies all copyable elements of the source course into the target course specified by the courseid. note that this process may take some time for large courses, and certain elements (such as student data or time-sensitive content) may not be copied. the endpoint does not provide real-time progress updates on the copying process.
