Keep grade access reviews tied to the request
Gather access information when a review request arrives so you can assess it without repeated searches across course settings.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get Grade Access
Retrieves a list of users with access to a specified grade. returns an objectlistpage containing useraccess blocks. can optionally filter by specific user id or role id. requires oauth2 scope: - grades:access:read available in api versions 1.75+ (lms v20.24.5+)
Why this helps
A request to review grading access can get stuck while the relevant grade and access list are located.
- Retrieves grade access for an identified review.
- Makes follow-up easier to organize.
- Reduces manual lookup and context switching.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Hookdeck and D2L Brightspace to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation named for grade access reviews.
- 3Write one prompt asking Notis to retrieve users with access to the grade specified in each approved request and summarize them.
- 4Choose an incoming webhook trigger and run-report channel, then test with one approved review request.
