Notis

Look up the rate for a specific past date

Send the date and base currency with a record to see the historical rates available for that day.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Get Historical Exchange Rates

Retrieves exchange rates for a past date.

Why this helps

Rechecking an older transaction is difficult when you cannot easily find the exchange rate that applied on its date.

  • Retrieve rates for a specified historical date.
  • Keep the requested date and base currency in the report.
  • Flag missing dates or currencies for follow-up.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect AnyDB and CurrencyScoop once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Tell Notis to retrieve historical rates for the date and base currency in each submitted record and summarize the requested currencies.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real record that has a known date and base currency.

Questions about this workflow
