Check for an existing Airtable scan entry
Search the relevant table when a scan arrives so you can make a deliberate decision about duplicates.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
List records
Lists records from a table.
Why this helps
Repeated scans can create duplicate rows that make the real status harder to understand.
- Check a table for an existing matching entry.
- Use scan details already returned to guide the match.
- Avoid treating every incoming scan as automatically new.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Codereadr and Airtable once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, with a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis which scan details to search for in the intended Airtable table and what to report when a match is found.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one scan that has a known Airtable match and review the result.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow delete duplicate records?
No. It uses the List records action to retrieve records for comparison. The prompt can ask Notis to report a match for review.
What makes the comparison reliable?
The incoming scan and Airtable records need a shared identifier or other distinctive details. The workflow should use fields available in the returned data.
