Email me or similar when number files in folder are exceeded

Simple query - but I cannot find an answer. I have a "clearance folder" for a number of Hazel actions - some files are misfits and need manual intervention. I want to get a notification/email when these misfits get to a certain number so I can manually process then. I got this close to working but I received an email for every file in the folder. I tried to incorporate some comments in forum - ie Kind is folder but not quite working yet - lots of users must have this or similar; any suggestions for a dummy? :wink:

You'd need to monitor one folder up, and have a rule to match the folder containing the "misfits". I'm not sure how you would have a condition count those misfits so you may need to incorporate a script, depending.

Thank you, simple really :D

My email notice attaches the folder which I could do without, but at least this is operational now.
