Make a key counter easy to check

Get the current value of an operational counter in a routine report.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

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

Action

Get Counter Value

Retrieve the current value of a counter.

Why this helps

A counter can hold useful operational context, but checking it manually interrupts other work.

  • Retrieve a counter's current value on a schedule.
  • Keep a small operational signal visible.
  • Avoid manual checks for routine reporting.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Backendless once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation named Scheduled counter snapshot.
  • 3Tell Notis to retrieve the current value of the specified Backendless counter and report it with a short explanation of what it represents.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real counter and verify the value is reported accurately.

Questions about this workflow

Does it change the counter?

No. Get Counter Value reads the current value.

Can it explain what the counter means?

Provide its meaning in your instruction so the report has useful context.
