- Reduce manual context gathering during setup.

- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve Apilio Numeric variables and summarize their current values with the new course details.
- 4Pick New Course Created for User as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real course creation event.
Questions about this workflow
Does this establish a baseline automatically?
It can report the values returned at that time. A historical baseline requires you to provide or store prior values separately.
Can it modify a Numeric variable for the new course?
No. The action only retrieves Numeric variables.
