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
Simple headcount questions can take too long when employee records must be exported and regrouped by hand.
- Quickly compare employee counts by department.
- Reduce repetitive spreadsheet counting.
- Keep a recurring staffing snapshot available for planning.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect BambooHR and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for headcount reporting.
- 3Ask Notis in one instruction to retrieve employee department data and analyze the department column in your chosen spreadsheet.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and confirm the summary reflects the available records.
Questions about this workflow
Does this calculate a headcount directly from BambooHR?
Not by itself. The Google Sheets action analyzes a specified column, so the instruction should describe how Notis retrieves and places department data for that analysis.
Can it report historical headcount changes?
Only if you maintain historical snapshots or provide a baseline. Current employee records alone do not establish past counts.
