Why this helps
Counting matching setup records by hand creates extra work and invites avoidable mistakes.
- Return a matching group count for a defined request
- Avoid manual tallying
- Ask for criteria when a count request is underspecified
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp and Apaleo once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to count matching Apaleo unit groups based on the request and ask for criteria when they are missing.
- 4Pick New Message Received as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real request for a unit group count.
Questions about this workflow
Does this count units too?
No. This workflow counts unit groups. Use a separate automation with Apaleo's unit count action for units.
Can it count without criteria?
It can use criteria supported by the action, but the request should specify what group set to count.

Status updates are ONLY delivered via webhooks in real-time. This trigger cannot directly poll the WhatsApp API for status updates. This trigger will return empty results as WhatsApp does not support this operation. To track message status updates, you must: 1. Set up a webhook endpoint to receive status notifications from WhatsApp 2. Store the webhook data in your own database 3. Use a different mechanism to query your stored webhook data For more information, see: - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/webhooks
