Create research contacts with checked details

Use a completed Addressfinder check to help register a research contact in Dovetail, with unclear or incomplete records flagged for review.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Create Contact

Create a new contact.

Why this helps

Creating research contacts from unchecked or incomplete details can leave teams with unreliable records.

  • Check provided details before registering a contact.
  • Keep incomplete or uncertain contact information from being treated as verified.
  • Reduce manual copying between contact checks and research records.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Addressfinder and Dovetail once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation for registering checked research contacts.
  • 3Instruct Notis to verify supplied details and create a contact only when the required information is clear.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and a destination for run reports.
  • 5Test with one valid record and one incomplete record, then review the outcomes.

Questions about this workflow

Will it create a contact when verification is uncertain?

The instruction should require a clear outcome and sufficient details before creating a contact, and report uncertain cases for review.

Can it prevent duplicate contacts?

Ask Notis to check available Dovetail contacts before creating a new one. A duplicate check depends on the contacts and identifiers accessible to the connected account.

Does this workflow add a research note?

No. It creates a Dovetail contact. Use a separate note or data workflow if you also need to store verification context.
