Why this helps
Manual counts consume attention and are especially easy to lose track of when work is interrupted.

- Keep a quick question out of a busy channel when useful.
- Use the returned number to continue the task already underway.

- 2Create an automation with a plain-language prompt to return the Apaleo unit count requested in a direct message.
- 3Select Direct Message Received as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test by DMing Notis for the unit count under a known scope.
Questions about this workflow
Can the count be filtered?

Does it return the unit details?
This action returns a count. Use the units-list action when details are needed.
