Know when unread Beamer posts are building up
A small scheduled check can surface an unread update queue before it becomes another forgotten follow-up.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Count Unread Posts
Counts a user’s unread posts.
Why this helps
Unread product updates can accumulate between campaign work sessions and become difficult to triage later.
- See the unread post count on a cadence you choose
- Use the user context required by Beamer
- Receive a lightweight reminder in your run report channel
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveTrail and Beamer once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe whose unread Beamer posts to count and what should happen when the count is nonzero.
- 3Pick a recurring schedule as the trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports should go and test with one real user context.
Questions about this workflow
Does the action return the unread posts themselves?
No. This action returns a count. Use Beamer's Get Posts action in a separate workflow when you need a list of posts.
Can Notis know the count from a previous run?
The action returns the current count. If you need a comparison with a prior count, provide or store that baseline in your process.
