Why this helps
Long-range plans can lose their source context when baseline figures are buried in old research files.
- Keep historic baseline figures easy to retrieve.
- Make the vintage and geography clear in each report.
- Reduce repeated searches for established planning references.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect 2chat and Census Bureau once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis which decennial vintage, dataset, geography, and variables to retrieve for the baseline report.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one actual baseline and confirm the reported source context.
Questions about this workflow
Why schedule a lookup for decennial data?
A recurring report can keep an established reference accessible to the team. It does not imply that decennial figures update on every run.
Can it alert us when the data changes?
The action retrieves data for a specified vintage and dataset. It is not a change alert; ask for a comparison only if you provide comparable alternate data.
