Track Transaction Counts Without Repeating the Query
Set a recurring check for transaction volume and get the count in a Notis report.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Count Metric
Tool to use the count metric to aggregate the number of records matching a graphql query. use when you need simple record counts.
Why this helps
Running the same basic count by hand makes it harder to keep a steady pulse on activity.
- Count records matching a query
- Set a repeatable review cadence
- Keep the count alongside a concise summary
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Bitquery once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, describe the network, matching transactions, and period to count.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real example query and verify the count context.
