Each blocklist entry consists of:- A title (for identification),
- One or more data fields used for matching,
- And an action to perform when a match is found.

Step 4: Matching Logic
Matching is strict and rule-based to ensure accuracy.- Perfect match only: No fuzzy or similarity scoring. “ABCLTD” will not match “ABC LTD” unless identical after normalization.
- Case-insensitive and accent-insensitive:
A=a,ą,Â, etc. (handled via database collation). - Empty fields count as a match: If both sides (company and blocklist) leave a field blank → it counts as matching.
- At least one field must match between the blocklist and the company data.
- Multiple blocklists: If a company matches one rule, later blocklists or automations won’t proceed when the action is Block.
Example:
| Field | Company Value | Blocklist Value | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | ABC | null | – |
| Registration Number | 123 | 123 | Match |
| Postcode | null | 123 | – |
Step 5: Choose Action
Choose what happens when a match is detected:| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| ** Do Nothing** | Logs the event but takes no further action. Useful for observation or passive monitoring. |
| ** Flag** | Highlights the company in the system (under Tags). The verification continues normally. |
| ** Block** | Automatically denies the company and stops all subsequent blocklist and automation processing. |
Step 6: Save and Activate
Click Save to finalize the rule. The entry becomes active immediately — no further activation steps required.Notes & Best Practices
