Apply a defined verification rule to an invoice approval
For a policy that explicitly permits approval after a supplier contact check, Notis can verify the supplied detail and approve the referenced pending approval when the rule is met.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Approve Approval
Why this helps
A routine verification step can create avoidable delay when the approval rule is clear but requires a manual handoff.
- Reduce manual steps for a clearly defined approval case.
- Keep the check result and approval run report together.
- Make the condition for action explicit in the automation prompt.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Abstract and Coupa once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3Describe the exact authorization condition, supplier contact check, and Coupa approval ID to approve.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and confirm the authorization rule before enabling routine use.
Questions about this workflow
Does a successful contact check always approve the invoice?
No. Your instruction must define an explicit authorization rule that includes any other required criteria. A contact check alone should not stand in for invoice review.
What if the approval is not pending?
The Coupa action applies to a pending approval record. Have Notis report cases where the approval cannot be acted on.
