Trigger

Recurring schedule

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

Action

Get VAT Categories

Why this helps

Teams can lose time rechecking VAT category references when country and product decisions come up repeatedly.

  • Make reference lookups easier to repeat.
  • Return standard, reduced, and special VAT categories for the specified country.
  • Keep the lookup results visible in a chosen report channel.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect AnyDB and Abstract once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for VAT category reference lookups.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve VAT rate categories for the country supplied for the run and report the returned categories.
  • 4Choose notis_cron and set the recurring schedule; specify the country for the run in the instruction or supplied input.
  • 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real country and review the returned categories.
