Check whether the spreadsheet already has this record
Before logging a webhook request's API result, have Notis search for an exact match so you can avoid obvious duplicate entries.
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 requests can create duplicate spreadsheet records that make review and reporting harder.
- Check for an existing exact match before adding a record.
- Keep repeated API requests from cluttering the tracker.
- Make duplicate handling consistent.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Apiverve and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe the exact value to search and what to do when a match is or is not found.
- 3Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 4Test with one known existing record and one new record.
Questions about this workflow
Does an exact row lookup detect partial matches?
The action searches for a cell whose entire content exactly matches the query string within the specified range or default first sheet.
Does this automatically append a new row when nothing matches?
Describe that outcome in the automation. The lookup action itself checks for a match; appending is a separate spreadsheet action.
