Let a course publishing event prompt a fresh check of the Fortnite island details referenced by the activity.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get Island Metadata
Tool to fetch metadata for a specific Fortnite island by its code. Use when you have an island code and need detailed island information.
Why this helps
After updating course materials, it is easy to forget to verify that a referenced island is still the intended one.
- Use an existing backend publish signal to start a check.
- Review the island details soon after course content changes.
- Keep the automation focused on a specific activity update.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Blackboard and Epic games to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation with a plain-language instruction to fetch island metadata when your publishing backend sends the webhook.
- 3Select an incoming webhook trigger, choose a run-report channel, and test with one publish event and island code.
Questions about this workflow
Does Blackboard provide the webhook trigger directly?
No. A connected custom backend or external tool must send the request to Notis.
What should the webhook include?
Provide enough context for Notis to identify the island code and the course activity being checked.
