Catch repeated invoice references before they clutter your ledger
Check the invoice identifier against your existing records as part of document processing.
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
Repeated invoice requests can lead to duplicate records and extra reconciliation later.
- Check an extracted reference against existing rows.
- Make duplicate handling more consistent.
- Keep a ledger cleaner for later reconciliation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Algodocs and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3Describe how to extract the invoice reference, look for an exact match, and handle each result.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one new invoice and one known reference.
Questions about this workflow
Does the lookup find similar references?
The action looks for an exact cell content match. Describe any normalization needed before searching.
Does this workflow delete duplicates?
No. It looks up a reference so the instruction can handle an existing match, such as flagging it for review.
