Check supplier research against existing contacts

Before starting a new supplier thread, see whether your finance records already contain a useful contact match.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Get Contacts

Tool to retrieve a list of contacts. use when you need up-to-date contact information with filtering, paging, or incremental updates.

Why this helps

Supplier research can be scattered across tabs, making it hard to tell whether a vendor has already been reviewed or recorded.

  • Check for existing supplier contact records.
  • Reduce duplicate due diligence and setup effort.
  • Keep the research finding connected to a clear review step.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Tavily and Xero to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis for it conversationally.
  • 3Use one instruction to summarize supplier research and check Xero contacts for likely existing records.
  • 4Choose an incoming webhook trigger and a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with one supplier and confirm possible matches before proceeding.
