Notis

Get a current exchange rate on request

Send currency codes to your webhook and receive the returned exchange rate in a concise report.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Currency Exchange Rate

Retrieves the current exchange rate for a currency pair.

Why this helps

A quick currency check can become a detour when you have to reopen a converter and copy the result into your work.

  • Start a rate lookup with an HTTP request.
  • Use the base and quote currency codes supplied in the request.
  • Summarize the returned rate as a numeric value when calculations are requested.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notis to Alpha Vantage once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for the currency rate lookup.
  • 3Tell Notis to use the supplied base and quote currency codes to retrieve the real-time exchange rate and report the returned rate.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with a confirmed currency pair and verify the returned rate.

Questions about this workflow

What codes should the request include?

Include confirmed base and quote currency codes, such as the two currencies you want to convert between.

How should the returned rate be used in calculations?

The rate is nested in the response as a string. Cast it to a float before calculations, and treat a missing or zero rate as unavailable.
