Why this helps
Bad email addresses in intake records create avoidable follow-up work later.
- Check supplied email addresses before form submission.
- Avoid submitting an intake record with an email Abstract identifies as invalid.
- Reduce later cleanup and contact retries.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Abstract and CommCare once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what you want from any channel.
- 3Describe that Notis should validate the supplied email with Abstract and submit the provided XForm to CommCare only when the address is valid.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real intake and complete XForm XML.
Questions about this workflow
Does email validation prove that a person owns the address?
No. Use it as an address validity check, not as proof of identity or consent.
Can the workflow fill missing intake values?
Provide any required values that are not present in the request; the workflow cannot verify information that was never supplied.
