Find the right candidate row for a status change
Use a precise candidate lookup to anchor status updates to the right row in your hiring tracker.
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
Updating the wrong candidate row or searching manually creates avoidable hiring admin.
- Locate an existing candidate row by exact content.
- Support more reliable status updates in a tracker.
- Reduce manual searching across candidate records.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Async interview and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to use the candidate identifier from the request to find the exact row in the hiring tracker and report the match for status handling.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real candidate identifier and confirm the match is unambiguous.
Questions about this workflow
Does this action update the row?
No. It finds the first row whose cell content exactly matches the query. Use it to identify a row for a separately defined workflow.
What is a good lookup value?
Use a stable exact identifier available in both the interview data and tracker, such as a candidate ID or email.
What happens if there are duplicate values?
The action finds the first exact match, so keep the chosen identifier unique in the relevant range.
