Find the matching invoice row quickly
When an invoice detail is ready, look for its exact match in your spreadsheet without scanning every row.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Look up spreadsheet row
Finds the first row in a google spreadsheet where a cell's entire content exactly matches the query string, searching within a specified a1 notation range or the first sheet by default.
Why this helps
Searching a large invoice log by hand interrupts focused work and makes simple lookups take longer than they should.
- Find the first row with an exact cell match.
- Reduce time spent scanning invoice logs.
- Use invoice details available to the workflow as the lookup value.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and instruct Notis to look up the invoice using an exact value available from Affinda.
- 3Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 4Start it with a real invoice value and confirm the result in the specified range.
Questions about this workflow
Does the lookup match partial invoice numbers?
The action finds a row where a cell's entire content exactly matches the query string. It is not a partial match search.
Can this find duplicate matches?
The action returns the first matching row. It does not promise to return every duplicate.
