Check an address before adding a lead
Give each incoming lead address a quick validation and duplicate check before it joins your sheet.
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
Unverified addresses and duplicate lead entries create extra cleanup before a team can act.
- Check the submitted address with a geolocation lookup.
- Find an exact existing match in the sheet.
- Make duplicate review easier before adding a record.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Big data cloud and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to validate each submitted address, look for an exact match in the chosen sheet range, and report the validation and match result without adding a duplicate.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one known address and one address already in the sheet.
Questions about this workflow
Does this automatically merge duplicate records?
No. This workflow looks for an exact match and reports the result. It does not merge records.
What if the sheet uses a different address format?
An exact row lookup may not find differently formatted addresses. Ask Notis to report the validation result separately from the match result.
