Notice changes in island retention

A recurring retention check can help you decide whether a course island is worth revisiting or refreshing.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

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

Action

Get Island Retention

Tool to retrieve day-over-day retention metrics for a Fortnite island. Use when analyzing retention performance by day (only supported for day interval).

Why this helps

Returning-player patterns can be hard to track when retention is buried in a separate analytics workflow.

  • Review supported day-over-day retention metrics.
  • Notice whether players return across days.
  • Keep retention on your course-review checklist automatically.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

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

Questions about this workflow

Which interval does this action support?

Retention is available for the day interval only.

Does retention explain why players return or leave?

No. It provides a metric, not an explanation of individual player behavior.
