Monthly Metrics Generate Automatically
Monthly metrics require manual queries and calculations. This automation pulls data from Appdrag and generates a metrics report every month.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Visual SQL SELECT
Tool to execute a Visual SELECT Cloud Backend function. Use when you need to read rows from a database table using a visual SQL function configured in AppDrag.
Why this helps
Creating monthly metrics reports requires manual queries and data analysis, a time-consuming task that often gets deprioritized.
- Automated metrics: monthly report generated without manual work
- Data-driven: metrics based on actual Appdrag records
- Time saved: no manual queries or calculations
- Consistency: same metrics calculated the same way each month
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Ensure Appdrag is connected to Notis
- 2Create a new automation with trigger 'Monthly' (e.g., first day of each month)
- 3Set your prompt: 'On the first day of each month at 9am, query my Appdrag database to calculate: total items completed last month, average cycle time, completion rate, and items still in progress. Generate a metrics report with these stats.'
- 4Choose your notification channel or dashboard
- 5Notis will generate the first report on the next month's first day
Questions about this workflow
What metrics can I track?
Anything in your Appdrag data: completion count, cycle time, velocity, by-person stats, by-team stats, etc. Specify in your prompt.
Can I have the report sent somewhere?
Yes. Add: 'Post the report to Slack' or 'Email it to leadership' or 'Store it in my reports table.'
