Review Fortnite island retention from project updates
Bring retention checks into project reporting by retrieving day-over-day metrics for the island named in an update.
Trigger
Project Update Posted
Fires when a project status update is posted on the Linear project's Updates tab. Covers projects in both public and private teams — polls with the connected user's token.
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
Project updates can call for retention context, but checking a separate analytics surface interrupts the reporting flow.
- Fetch retention metrics for a supplied island code.
- Keep the lookup anchored to a project status update.
- Call out that this action supports day interval retention only.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Epic Games once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to extract the island code from a project update, fetch day-over-day retention, and report if the code is missing.
- 4Pick the Linear Project Update Posted trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real project update that includes a Fortnite island code.
Questions about this workflow
Which interval should the request use?
The retention action supports the day interval only. The automation should use that interval and explain the limitation in its report.
What if the project update has no island code?
Notis cannot run the lookup without a code. Ask it to report the missing input so the team can add the code to an update.
