Why this helps
Manual counting adds friction to planning and increases the chance of missing a result.
- Answer count questions with less manual effort.
- Use a filter-based total when a particular scope matters.
- Keep a small task from expanding into a longer lookup.
Setup

- 2Create an automation prompt to return the count of Apaleo unit groups matching the filter requested in a DM.
- 3Select Direct Message Received as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with a count request whose expected scope is understood.
