Keep an eye on a document processing counter

Check a Backendless counter on a schedule and bring its value into a report you can review quickly.

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 changing counter can be easy to overlook when checking Backendless requires a separate context switch.

  • Review the current counter value on a predictable cadence.
  • Avoid opening Backendless just to check a number.
  • Use the report to decide whether further investigation is needed.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Airparser and Backendless once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation from the portal or any Notis channel.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve the named Backendless counter value and report it with the check time.
  • 4Pick a recurring Notis schedule and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real counter and confirm the reported value.

Questions about this workflow

Does this counter check prove how many files Airparser parsed?

Only if your process explicitly maintains that counter for parsed files. The action returns a Backendless counter value and does not establish what it represents.

Can this workflow change the counter?

No. It uses the get counter value action, which reads the current value.
