Find the company record before checking its VAT ID
Look up the matching record first so the validation result can be tied to the right company.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Look up spreadsheet row
Finds the first row in a google spreadsheet where a cell's entire content exactly matches the query string, searching within a specified a1 notation range or the first sheet by default.
Why this helps
A validation result without its matching company record can create extra searching and uncertainty about which business was checked.
- Tie a requested check to an existing company record.
- Use the stored identifier after finding an exact match.
- Make missing or unmatched records visible for follow-up.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect 44API and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the company check.
- 3Tell Notis to find the exact company key from each request in the specified sheet, validate the matched row's tax identifier with 44API, and report the outcome.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and a run report destination.
- 5Test with one existing company key and one unmatched key.
Questions about this workflow
What if no exact row is found?
Ask Notis to report that no matching record was found and skip validation when there is no matched identifier.
Does this search similar company names?
The Google Sheets action searches for an exact match. Supply a stable key if company names may vary.
