Match a document to its indexed invoice record
Submit an invoice and use its extracted identifying details to look up a matching Algolia record.
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 document and its indexed entry can be difficult to reconcile when invoice identifiers have to be copied into search manually.
- Use extracted invoice details to drive a record lookup.
- Reduce copy and paste between document review and search.
- Return a matching record for follow-up or verification.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda and Algolia once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Describe the outcome: parse the submitted invoice and search the confirmed index for a record matching its identifying details.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with an invoice already represented in the index and verify the match.
Questions about this workflow
Does this search return every possible match?
Find Object returns the first object matching the query or filter.
What if the invoice is not indexed yet?
The search can return no match. Add a separate workflow or instruction if you want to index missing invoices.
