Why this helps
Validation decisions can get lost between a spreadsheet queue and the document record they belong to.
- Record validation outcomes from a new intake entry.
- Reduce duplicate re-entry between a sheet and Affinda.
- Keep the document reference and validation decision together.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets and Affinda once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe when a new row contains a document reference and a completed validation outcome to record.
- 3Pick the New Rows in Google Sheet trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 4Test with one real row and confirm it contains the reference and outcome Affinda requires.
Questions about this workflow
Will this workflow decide whether a document is valid?
No. It records a validation result based on the outcome supplied in the row or instruction. The workflow should not invent a validation decision.
What if the row does not have an outcome yet?
The prompt should instruct Notis to skip or report rows without the needed outcome and document reference.
