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.
