Check the job log before recording a transcript
Have Notis look for the same job identifier before you add another entry to your tracking process.
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 webhook requests or manual retries can create duplicate rows and muddy the job log.
- Spot an existing job record quickly
- Reduce duplicate tracking rows
- Keep retries easier to review
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Castingwords and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel what job identifier to check.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to look up the exact Castingwords job ID in the relevant range and report whether a matching row exists before any separate logging step.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select a run report destination.
- 5Test with one job already in the sheet and one job not yet recorded.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow add a row when no match is found?
This version checks for a match and reports the result. Ask for a separate append step if you want it to log new jobs too.
What counts as a match?
The lookup searches for a cell whose entire content exactly matches the query string in the specified range.
What information does the lookup need?
The job identifier must be supplied by the webhook context or available from Castingwords, and the sheet range must contain that identifier.
