Review time spent in course islands
Use a recurring minutes-played report to make island engagement easier to discuss during course planning.
Trigger

Action
Get Island Minutes Played
Tool to retrieve total minutes played on an island during a given interval. Use after obtaining the island code to analyze player engagement metrics.
Why this helps
Total engagement time is easy to overlook when you have to remember to run an analytics query manually.
- Get a repeatable view of total island play time.
- Compare activity periods during course reviews.
- Spend less time remembering which analytics page to revisit.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Blackboard and Epic games to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Ask Notis to create a scheduled automation that reports total minutes played for the course island.
- 3Set the schedule and report channel, then test the instruction with a real island code and interval.
Questions about this workflow
Is this an individual learner time report?
No. The action returns total minutes played for an island over an interval, not a Blackboard-linked per-student record.
What details should the prompt include?
Include the island code, desired interval, and how often Notis should report.
