Turn checked reference data into a CommCare lookup table
Keep program reference data easier to use by scheduling a check of your supplied list and creating a CommCare lookup table from the validated results.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create Lookup Table
Create a lookup table in a domain.
Why this helps
Reference lists can become difficult to trust when address and contact details are out of date or inconsistent.
- Check supplied addresses, email addresses, or phone numbers before creating a table.
- Reduce manual preparation of program reference data.
- Use a recurring schedule to run the review at a chosen interval.

- 2Create an automation and specify the reference data source and which details Addressfinder should check.
- 3Choose a recurring schedule as the trigger.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real example and confirm the connected CommCare account has Edit Apps permission.
