Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Find Object
Finds the first object matching a query or filter in an index.
Why this helps
A new or changed contact can be hard to distinguish from a record that already exists.
- Check contact data before searching for a match.
- Use an Algolia search result to inform the next record decision.
- Make potential duplicates easier to review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Addressfinder and Algolia once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and tell Notis to validate the submitted details, search the specified index, and report a matching record.
- 3Pick the webhook trigger and include the contact data, index name, and search query in the request.
- 4Choose where run reports go, then test with one real contact.
