Notis

Find ticker candidates from a company name

When a ticker escapes you, send the company name and get matching symbols with exchange and region details to review.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Symbol Search

Search for ticker symbols that best match a name or keyword.

Why this helps

Guessing a ticker can lead to looking up the wrong company or market.

  • Search by a company name or keyword.
  • Review exchange, region, and currency details before continuing.
  • Reduce errors from relying on a remembered ticker.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Alpha Vantage once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation named Ticker Lookup.
  • 3Tell Notis to search symbols for the company name or keyword in each webhook request and list close matches with their exchange, region, and currency.
  • 4Choose notis_webhook as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real company name and verify the intended listing.

Questions about this workflow

Will the search always return one exact match?

No. Symbol Search can return multiple close matches. Review exchange, region, and currency to select the intended listing.

Can the workflow fetch a quote too?

This workflow returns symbol candidates. A separate automation can use a confirmed ticker to request a quote.
