Check Countdown api capacity when a new brief arrives

Know your usage before a new research request turns into more queued work.

Trigger

New Document Added

Triggers when a new Google Doc is added/created. This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when new documents are detected.

Action

Get Account Information

Tool to retrieve account usage and current platform status. Use when needing to check plan, usage, and quota details for the authenticated user.

Why this helps

New briefs arrive without visibility into current quota or platform status.

  • Adds a capacity checkpoint
  • Supports better prioritization
  • Prevents surprise quota issues

  • 2Create an automation for capacity checks.
  • 3Tell Notis to retrieve account information and summarize whether the new brief fits current usage.
  • 4Pick New Document Added as the trigger.
  • 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real brief.

Questions about this workflow

Does this create or start research?

No. It reports account information for planning.

Can the report include recommendations?
