Get the comment total for a specific Beamer post
Check discussion volume from a workflow handoff without opening and counting each comment.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Count Post Comments
Counts comments on a post that match the selected filters.
Why this helps
Manually checking discussion size takes attention away from responding to the feedback itself.
- Count comments for a specific Beamer post using supported filters.
- Use a webhook handoff to run the count when a post ID is available.
- See the returned total in a Notis report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveMerge and Beamer once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the comment count.
- 3Tell Notis to count comments for the post ID supplied in the webhook using supported filters.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger, choose where run reports go, and test with one real example.
Questions about this workflow
Can I count comments across every post?
This action is for comments on a specific post. Supply a post ID.
Can the count show whether discussion is increasing?
That comparison requires a prior count or history. Supply a baseline if you need a trend.
