Find a spreadsheet record by exact match
Send an identifier and let Notis find the matching row for the next step in your workflow.
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 long spreadsheet for one exact account, order, or reference number interrupts focused work.
- Finds the first row with an exact cell content match.
- Can search a specified range or the first sheet by default.
- Makes repeat lookups easier to trigger.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Api labz and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and name the record lookup.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis which spreadsheet and range to search and what incoming exact value to find.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real identifier and check the returned row.
Questions about this workflow
Does the lookup use partial matching?
