See how many learners reach the island

A recurring unique-player snapshot can make participation patterns easier to review alongside course activity.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

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

Action

Get Island Unique Players

Tool to retrieve the number of unique players who played an island over a specific interval. Use after obtaining the island code and desired interval.

Why this helps

A busy course can make it difficult to tell whether an island activity is reaching more or fewer distinct participants.

  • Track distinct player counts at a consistent interval.
  • Notice reach changes without opening another analytics dashboard.
  • Keep a lightweight record for course activity reviews.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Blackboard and Epic games to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal and describe the island unique-player check in one plain-language prompt.
  • 3Choose a recurring schedule and report channel, then test with a course island code and interval.

Questions about this workflow

Does unique-player count identify individual students?

The action returns a metric count; it does not establish that players correspond to named Blackboard students.

Can I choose the reporting interval?

Yes. State the supported interval and island code in the automation instruction.
