See whether course islands are being favorited

A favorites trend is an easy signal to include in a regular review of the Fortnite experiences linked from your course.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

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

Action

Get Island Favorites Metrics

Tool to fetch how many times an island was added to favorites over a time interval. Use when analyzing island popularity trends.

Why this helps

Popularity signals can be missed when you only review course materials and do not revisit island metrics.

  • Review favorites over a defined time interval.
  • Notice when interest in a course island changes.
  • Keep popularity checks on a routine instead of relying on memory.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Blackboard and Epic games to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Ask Notis to create an automation that fetches favorites metrics for the course island and summarizes the interval.
  • 3Pick a recurring schedule and report channel, then test with the island code.

Questions about this workflow

Does a favorite prove a learner completed the activity?

No. Favorites are a popularity metric and do not confirm course completion.

Can I compare time periods?

Include the intervals you want considered in the plain-language instruction, subject to the action's supported inputs.
