Keep vendor research in one dataset
Capture useful vendor research alongside your existing Apify dataset for easier review over time.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Store Data in Dataset
Stores data items in an existing dataset.
Why this helps
Research scattered across separate runs is harder to revisit when a vendor comes up again.
- Reuse a dataset as a central research destination.
- Append relevant results after invoice parsing.
- Make vendor findings easier to revisit.
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 vendor information with Affinda, collect relevant public results, and append the selected items to the existing Apify dataset.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one invoice and verify the dataset contains only useful items.

Does this create a new dataset?
No. This workflow stores data in an existing dataset, so include its identity in the prompt or webhook context.
Can it overwrite existing records?
Dataset storage appends or updates items according to the action behavior. Test with sample data and inspect the result.
