- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the count check.

- 4Pick a recurring schedule, choose where run reports go, and test with one real example.
Questions about this workflow
Can it count posts for a category automatically?
The count action supports filters, but the listed details do not define filter fields. Provide criteria that your connected Beamer action supports.
Does the result explain why the count changed?
A count alone does not provide a historical baseline. Supply prior counts or other history if you need a comparison.
