Get a recurring total for document batches

Summarize a numeric measure such as page count or cost when your sheet records it for each batch.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

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

Action

Aggregate Column Data

Searches for rows where a specific column matches a value and performs mathematical operations on data from another column.

Why this helps

Adding up batch totals by hand takes attention away from reviewing the work itself.

  • Aggregate numeric values for matching batch rows.
  • Create a recurring total from existing records.
  • Avoid manual calculator work for operational summaries.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect ActiveMerge and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation named Document Batch Totals.
  • 3Tell Notis which column to match, the match value, and which numeric column to aggregate.
  • 4Pick the recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real batch that has numeric values recorded.

Questions about this workflow

Can it total costs?

Yes, if costs are recorded as numeric values in the selected column.

Can it estimate missing costs or page counts?

No. The aggregation uses values in the sheet and cannot supply unrecorded measures.
