Check Countdown capacity before acting on a research ticket

Know your available research capacity before you start.

Trigger

New Zendesk Ticket

Triggers when a new ticket is created in a specified Zendesk view.

Action

Get Account Information

Tool to retrieve account usage and current platform status. Use when needing to check plan, usage, and quota details for the authenticated user.

Why this helps

Teams begin research without seeing quota or platform status, causing avoidable delays.

  • Prevent quota surprises
  • Prioritize urgent work
  • Keep research planning visible

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Zendesk and Countdown api once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Open Automations, choose New Automation, and name this workflow.
  • 3Tell Notis to inspect Countdown account usage and summarize whether the ticket's requested research can proceed.
  • 4Pick New Zendesk Ticket as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real research ticket and verify the status summary.

Questions about this workflow

Will it change my account?

No. The action only retrieves account information.
