Notis

Research incomplete invoice records

Gather relevant public company details around incomplete invoice records so the next review starts with context.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Run Task Sync & Get Dataset Items

Run an Actor task synchronously and return dataset items; the request times out after 300 seconds.

Why this helps

When invoice records are missing context, finding the right public business information creates another manual research task.

  • Surface records that may need more context.
  • Collect public details for a human review.
  • Run the configured task and retrieve its dataset items in one action.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Affinda and Apify once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Tell Notis to parse the invoices with Affinda, identify records needing context, and run an Apify task to collect relevant public business information.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one invoice and review the returned dataset items before relying on the results.

Questions about this workflow

Does this decide whether an invoice is valid?

No. It gathers information to support a person's review and should not be treated as a financial verification decision.

What if the task returns many results?

The action retrieves dataset items and supports pagination. Review the run output and use a narrower task input when needed.
