Get an Apaleo property count by DM
Use a quick Slack DM to get the property count when planning, reviewing, or answering a teammate.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Action
Return total count of properties
Return total count of properties<br>you need to be authorized (no particular scope required)
Why this helps
A simple count can turn into a detour through a system or an unnecessary ask to a colleague.
- Answer a small operational question with one message.
- Avoid manually counting entries in a long list.
- Keep the lookup private when it relates to planning.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Apaleo to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal with a plain-language prompt to return Apaleo's total property count when asked by DM.
- 3Select Direct Message Received as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test by sending Notis a DM asking for the total property count.
Questions about this workflow
Will this count archived properties too?
The action returns Apaleo's total property count; the prompt should avoid claiming a particular inclusion rule unless the connected action documents it.
Can it provide a list as well?
This workflow is designed to return a count. Use a separate property-list workflow when you need names or IDs.
